Ice cream cones

OK, due to a phenomenal and repeated shopping communications c*ck-up, we have no less than 3 boxes of ice cream cones (the empty ones) each with 21 (?) cones per box.
Apart from the obvious one, any ideas about how to stop the rest going to waste?

The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.

not sure how to make them , but in bakeries they sell ice cream cones with marshmellow on the top and then hundreds and thousands. maybe try this ( somehow)
or i have a recipe for a girls princess fairy castle and it uses 4 cones for the tops of the towers. it really pretty, do u have any birthday coming up ?0 -
if these are the cones with the flat bottoms, u can whip up some fairy cake mix, pour into the cone then bake in the oven as normal! when they have cooled cover the top in icing and then sugar strands, and there u go lovely ice cream cakes and the kids love them!0

Wiil they go to waste ? Don't they have a pretty long shelf life ? I'd keep them for ice cream. I find them a great way of making ice cream last as you only need one scoop. If you serve it in a bowl one scoop never looks enough. My kids actually prefer a cone of ice cream to 2 scoops in a bowl.0

The weather's getting warmer, so lots of ice-cream will be eaten. In our house 63 ice cream cones wouldn't really last long, and I agree with Thriftlady - it's cheaper to serve it in a cone because you can give them less!0

Hi
Bring them to the next picnic or school party if you want to get rid of them.0
