Although some mystery surrounds who invented the ice cream cone, the first mention appears in French cookbooks around 1825. The cones were originally described as "little waffles" and were rolled into the shape of a cone.
In the United States, ice cream cones first became popular in the late 1800s. The first cones were turned by hand by confectioners. In 1904, the ice cream cone made its first appearance at the World's Fair in St. Louis. In 1912, an Oregon entrepreneur obtained a patent for a machine to make them. He sold his business to Nabisco in 1928, and they now make ice cream cones.
Both children and adults alike, the ice cream cone remains a popular snack. More ice cream flavors are being made available to please our palates, too!
