I thought I read a few girls were doing hot cocoa cones. I just wanted to know if someone can tell me where they are buying all the ingredients. I thought I would buy it at costco but it looks like they do not sell marshmellows and the hot cocao comes in packages. Does anyone have any suggestions ??

Re: Girls doing hot cocoa cones..
I'm doing them. But Allegra has been my lil B!tch on this project!!
Seriously... she did a GREAT job finding it all for me... and I just fork over the money to her!! haha!! I think she found a great deal on the cocoa on ebay. and I don't know where but she got the marshmallows online too. And sprinkles shaped like stars (they are red white and blue so we are picking out the red ones... then we will have a red sprinkle partay!!!).
All in all it came to about $350?? Is that right legs? I can't even remember anymore. hahahaa!!!

If you get these from favor companies they are at cheapest $6 per cone assembled. That's usually without the tag. So that would have been at least $700 for Kerri plus tax! Also she was getting quotes of $9 per cone or more!! What?!?! So we are making our own. We are using some higher end ingredients to make them special, or 'Kerrify' them, if you will We are doing little blue and white star sprinkles mixed with silver dragees (little sugar silver balls you see on cakes and cookies) as well as real dehydrated mini marshmallows! We didn't want just supermarket jet puffed mini marshmallows! We wanted the real deal!
They rock!! So after all is said and done we're spending like $350 for 250 super customized cocoa cones! MUCH less than she would have ever gotten it retail!!! WOOHOO!! AND they are totally Kerri and Starry and Sparkly!!!!

We are using one of Kerri's monograms for the tag. We're attaching them with a really thin royal blue ribbon. We're printing them ourselves on Stardream paper I got wholesale.
