A cupcone (the common US term), is a small cake generally proportioned to serve one person, specifically baked in a flat-bottomed ice cream cone. As with larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations, such as sprinkles, are common on cupcones. The consumable vessel design of a cupcone makes for a completely edible and self-contained snack food with no waste.
History[edit]
Although the origins of the recipe and the first use of the term are unclear, cupcones and cupcake cones have been a party favorite in recent history. The term cupcone is used to describe a cupcake-type confection cooked in a flat bottomed ice cream cone instead of a paper cup in order to eliminate the waste paper after consumption.
The cupcone takes its name from the cupcake.

Cupcones can be used interchangeably with cupcakes that are often served during a celebration, such as children's birthday parties. Additionally, they can be served as an accompaniment to afternoon tea. Cupcones are a more convenient alternative to a full-sized cake, as they don't require utensils or division into individual portions.
