I found this creative recipe wherein you can easily create ice cream cupcakes! Instead of the usual cupcake containers, you can use ice cream cones as your cupcake container. Best to use the ones with flat bottoms as advised in the article I've read. You can create different cupcake mixtures for variety as well as colourful toppings that will delight kids.

You can try baking carrot cake cupcakes -- they are healthier than the usual chocolatey, sugary cupcakes but they taste just as awesome. It contains wholesome ingredients like carrots, raisins, walnuts (you can omit this if you want) and cinnamon. This is a recipe I swear by and it is absolutely yummy! Bake these in colourful cupcake liners and they will be a hit :) http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/carrot-cake-cupcakes-recipe.html
I usally buy Better Crookers chocolate cake mix as all you have to do is add eggs, butter and oil. After mixing everything, I'll put the cake mix into a cupcake tray and bake them! :-) While baking the cupcakes, I'll double boil chocolate. When the cupcakes are ready, I'll dip it into the chocolate and add sprinkles! :-)
I know these are for valentine's and not cakes but they're super easy to make and look amazing! You could try using colourful sprinkles for kids :) You can check out the recipe here: http://www.supermommy.com.sg/valentines-day-cookie-recipe/
