Although the oldest known record of an ice cream sundae is an Ithaca, NY advertisement, the dessert's maker is still debated. The ice cream treat was spelled with the word "today" in the Ithaca Daily Journal's October 5, 1892 ad – Sunday. The ice cream treat was spelled with the traditional day of the week's spelling – October 5, 1892 ad.
Druggist Edward Berners was among the first ice cream sundae in 1881, according to Two Rivers, Wisconsin. According to the article, customer George Hallauer ordered an ice cream soda on a Sunday. Since laws banning the selling of ice cream sodas on the Sabbath, Berners came up with a compromise and served the ice cream in a dish without the soda. He topped it with chocolate syrup and called it a Sundae. Berners was 18 at the time the tale takes place, which is one of the story's most interesting finds.
In 1892, when Reverend John M. Scott stops to order a bowl of ice cream, Ithaca's claim to the ice cream sundae takes place at Platt & Colt Pharmacy, where Reverend John M. Scott stops to order a bowl of ice cream. He didn't stop at just a few scoops of vanilla when Chester Platt, the company's founder, began making the ice cream for his client. The ice cream was drizzled with cherry syrup, and topped them with a vibrant red, candied cherry. The dessert looked and tasted so delectable that it warranted its own name. Since the day was Sunday, it was named for the day it was created. In addition, an advertisement for a Cherry Sunday, Ithaca also has historical evidence to back up the tale.
