Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 6 waffle cones upright in a muffin tin, wrapping each with foil to hold them steady.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the 1 box chocolate cake mix, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Fill each cone about 2/3 full with batter, about 1/3 cup each. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.
Step 4
Let cones cool completely on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.
Step 5
In a small bowl, stir 5 drops green food coloring into the 1 can vanilla frosting until evenly colored.
Step 6
Spread or pipe the green frosting onto each cooled cupcake cone.
Step 7
Top each with 1 teaspoon of rainbow sprinkles before serving.
