Ice Cream Cones - Large Ice Cream Display Cones

Wherever ice cream is sold there is usually a sign advertising the fact.

It might be a neon sign, a display board outside a cafe, a banner in a shop window or it could even be a large, plastic, ice cream cone displayed on the sidewalk to advertise an ice cream parlor or ice cream kiosk. I love to see these and photograph them every time I come across one. It's surprising just how different they can be too. Some, like the ice cream cone on the left, are given lovely swirls of sauces on top of the ice cream to make it look really appealing. As you can see from the photograph, this ice cream display cone was standing directly in front of an ice cream kiosk (in Bridlington, North Yorkshire, England). I've seen similar ones in other parts of England such as in Seahouses Northumberland when I was on a trip to visit Alnwick Castle (aka Hogwarts Castle) - read my Blog post "English Seaside Ice Cream, Hogwarts Castle & Craster Cornets!" I would challenge anyone to walk past these display cones without wandering over to buy an ice cream!

This is a large ice cream cone displayed in a pedestrian area of a small town called Zandvoort in The Netherlands. Although it's not in the picture, to the right of the cone is an ice cream kiosk selling ice cream cones and ice cream tubs. Notice the difference between this cone and the one above - the ice cream has no sauce or topping and the cone is a waffle type cone as opposed to the more traditional wafer cone in the above photo. That in itself is a reflection of where these cones are - the one above is in England where traditional wafer cones are more popular and the one right is in the Netherlands where waffle cones are more popular.
