It's all the fun of ice cream without the drips. The masters of whimsical cakes at Wilton Industries Inc. have created a nonstick cupcake pan that produces cakes shaped like ice cream cones -- complete with swirled soft-serve top. The pan bakes each cupcake in two parts, a bottom (or cone) and a top (the ice cream), and produces enough halves to assemble four cupcakes at a time. (A larger earlier version produced one big cake and top.) When using the pan, coat it with nonstick baking spray (or flour and oil). The intricate details otherwise make release of the baked cakes a challenge. Also, the cupcakes may mound during baking. If so, you will need to use a knife to slice off any domes to create flat surfaces so the halves can be assembled. The Wilton Ice-Cream Cone Cupcake Pan is available for $27.95 exclusively from kitchen goods retailer Sur la Table, at their stores or online at www.surla table.com and www.amazon.com.
