Sugar Cone Teepees (Make while cake is baking)
Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper. Set aside.
Cut off 1-2" of the pointy tips of the cones with a sharp knife. The hole should be big enough to snuggly fit 3 pretzel sticks. Do not cut off too much as the pretzel sticks will fall through.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments until melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes before dipping the cones into it.
Dip about 1-inch of the cut tip side of the cone into the chocolate and gently shake off the excess before dipping into the sprinkles.
Turn the cone over and dip the bottom of the cone into the melted chocolate, shaking off the excess. before dipping into the sprinkles. Place the cone onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining sugar cones.
To add the pretzel sticks to the teepee, take 3 pretzel sticks and dip into the chocolate, covering about 1". Insert them into the top of the teepee and hold until set. This should only take a few seconds. Repeat with the remaining teepees.
Place the baking sheet into the fridge to help them set, about 10 minutes.
To fill:
Remove the teepees from the fridge and fill each cone with the cake and frosting mixture. Try not to overfill as the cones may break. Tip: Support the pretzel sticks while filling the cones, so they don’t move or get pushed out.
Keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy!
Notes
HOW TO STOREStore the finished teepees and the leftover filling separately. Place them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. Note that the cones will start to soften the longer they are stored. Freezing is not recommended.
