Rainbow ice cream cone cake bites....! ....so to occupy some time during hurricane irene this past weekend, made these goodies!...... Which were made with some left over frozen cupcakes....and didn't really feel like making a new batch of buttercream just for these....so instead of cake bites made with crumbled cake and frosting...they are made with marshmallow fluff...!.... And you may be thinking..... "where's the rainbow"....? ...inside of course....!... So really these are faux mini ice cream cones made with multi colored cupcakes, fluff, and vanilla candy melts..... ...i only used one cupcake for each color (because that's what i had in the freezer!).... ...then roll each color into a "ball" and freeze for about 1/2 hour or so.... ...then slice each into 6 pieces..... ...then mix and match the slices to get rainbow "balls"..... ...then dip in the vanilla candy melt and add some cool sprinkles and a mini red m&m on top....and you get some really cute mini rainbow ice cream cone cake n' fluff bites....
