Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the cake mix by combining cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat according to package directions.
Divide the batter evenly into three bowls. Leave one white, tint one red, and one blue using food coloring.
Place cones upright in muffin tins for stability.
Spoon a small amount of each color batter into the cones, layering the colors.
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely.
Frost with vanilla frosting and decorate with patriotic sprinkles and star decorations.

Notes

Use a piping bag to evenly distribute frosting.
Ensure cones are not overfilled to prevent overflow during baking.
Store in a cool area to avoid frosting melting.
