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