Ice Cream Cone
The ice cream cone is loved by children and adults alike. An ice cream cone gives ice cream a great, extra dimension with its texture and flavor. What's more you don't have to use a dish and spoon - an ice cream cone means you can walk around eating your favorite ice cream!
Once the ice cream is in the cone there are toppings to choose from - chocolate or strawberry sauce, colored sprinkles, chopped nuts, a chocolate flake ... the list goes on!
Ice cream cone sizes - there are quite a few different sizes of cone for ice cream usually from 1 scoop through to 3 scoop cones. You can also buy them in different textures, some softer or harder than others and some are even pre-dipped in chocolate!

The invention of the ice cream cone goes back to the turn of the last century when Italo Marchiony (based in New York) had a US patent issued in December 1903 for what he described as: "like a waffle iron ... producing several small pastry cups with sloping sides". At the St. Louis Fair in 1904, however, there was a separate announcement of the 'invention' of the ice cream cone - it's alleged that E. E. Hamwi from Damascus had a waffle booth next door to an ice cream seller and rolled his waffles into cone shapes for him to sell more ice cream.
