While some mystery surrounds who invented the ice cream cone, the first mention of the ice cream cone 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 first appearance 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 still make ice cream cones today.
The ice cream cone has continued to be a popular snack for children and adults alike. More ice cream flavors are being made available to please our palates, too!!
