It is my friend Jamie’s birthday and I wanted to do something special for her because I will be out of town + miss her celebration.  Using the tutorial brought to you by the oh-so creative folks at Oh Happy Day, I created these adorable gum drop ice cream cone cupcakes. Check out their full tutorial, beautiful photos + other happy stuff here!

• Large gum drops
• Food-safe scissors
• Wooden skewers (Note: I used 3 inch)
• Brown craft paper (Note: I used brown cupcake liners folded in half)
• Scissors
• Double-stick tape
• Little round candies (Note: I used Red Hots)

1. Choose two large gum drops, cut the top 1/3” off one.
2. Skewer the cut one, then place a whole one on top.
3. Fold a brown cupcake liner in half and then twist into a cone shape, and secure with a tiny bit of double stick tape.
4. Put the paper cone under the gum drops (you may need to snip the bottom of the cone in order to make it fit around the stick).
5. Snip a tiny piece off the top gum drop.
6. Place a “cherry” on top with one of the tiny candies.
