Question

What should I do to prevent my cones from losing their crunchy texture and tasting stale?

Community Answer

After you have finished baking, use a toothpick to poke a hole in the bottom of each cone. This will let the steam escape and help the cones retain their crunchy texture.

Question

What type of ice cream cone works best?

Community Answer

Any cone that is sturdy and has a large, flat bottom to rest on. The classic cone-shaped ones are harder to use because they do not stand well while baking.

Question

Why don't my cones stay crispy?

Chris Salman

Community Answer

Cones can get soggy from the moisture in the cupcake batter. Try pre-baking them by lightly toasting in the oven for a few minutes before adding the batter. Don't overfill the cones; fill only about 2/3 full to prevent the batter from seeping in. Cool them immediately after baking to avoid trapped steam, which can cause sogginess.
