A scoop of cold ice cream on a hot night is the ultimate delight. It’s delicious on the tongue and cools the body. For many people, the only way to eat ice cream is in a cone. Traditions vary widely and the scope of ice cream cones may surprise you.

Wafer/Cake Cones

Flat on the bottom, it eliminates the leaking problem of the truly cone shaped ice cream holder. It’s flaky, offers a softer crunch than other types, and is typically the first cone to which children are introduced. Wafer cones are neutral in flavor, making them an ideal choice for really intense ice cream flavors.

Waffle Cones

The waffle cone is often called the “fancy” version of a sugar cone. It features the signature waffle design and is highlighted by a top edge that’s uneven. They’re a little bit softer and bigger than a sugar cone and have a higher sugar content than sugar cones.

Sugar Cones

Often mistaken for a waffle cone, it has waffle marks but is slightly smaller than a waffle cone. They have a satisfying crunch, but can be brittle. Even all around the top, they’re sturdy and don’t get soggy. Most modern sugar cones have a “plug” of chocolate at the pointy end of the cone to help mitigate leaking.

Pretzel cones

A trend that comes from Philadelphia, PA, pretzel cones combine the crisp and salty crunchiness of a pretzel that blends well with ice cream flavors. The pretzel cone grew out of a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition of dipping pretzels in ice cream. Created by a dentist, pretzel cones have been available since 1986.

Puffle Cones

A relative newcomer on the ice cream scene, they’re also known as Hong Kong waffles. Puffle cones are actually a common egg-based street snack cooked in a special waffle mold and folded into a cone shape. The exterior is slightly crisp and features a light, airy and chewy inside that’s pleasing to the palate. Resembling edible bubble wrap, they’re typically eaten warm as a counterpart to the coldness of the ice cream and served in a cardboard holder.

Where Did the Waffle Cone Come From?

As with all great inventions, the waffle cone is surrounded by controversy. If science is correct, the essence of the waffle cone began in the Neolithic period as a prototype cake that was often used as a portable holder for everything from meat to vegetables. Throughout history, it was made in different sizes and from various ingredients, but it retained its crisscross pattern throughout.

Fast forward to the 1904 World’s Fair where a Syrian concessionaire named Ernest Hamwi was making pastries, one of which was zalabia. He was positioned next to an ice cream vendor who ran out of glass cups to sell his frozen ices and the two collaborated, selling the ices in the deep-fried treats.

However, in 1903 Hoboken resident, Italo Marchiony, was a street vendor selling lemon ices on Wall Street. The ices were sold in glass cups that were supposed to be returned to the vendor, but the busy Wall Street traders typically walked away with the cups and never returned them. The loss of the cups was cutting into Marchiony’s profits.

The solution was an edible cup. He’d been working on a device to make ice cream cones since 1896. Marchiony filed for a patent in 1902 and it was granted in 1903. His waffle cones were a hit everywhere they were sold.

According to the Hoboken Historical Museum, Hamwi was an exhibitor at the World’s Fair and he was making zalabis when Marchiony asked Hamwi to roll some of the zalibis so he could use them as cones for his ice cream. According to the Museum, Marchiony was also responsible for the first ice cream sandwiches.

Today, people can choose from cake cones, sugar cones and waffle cones. It’s said that the type of cone a person chooses is an indicator of their personality. Waffle cone fans will be happy to know that they’re fun, enthusiastic, independent, and enjoy the finer things in life.

Ice Cream Cones! Which One Is Your Favorite?

Here at Frostbite, we know that the humble ice cream cone is much more than just a vessel for holding your ice cream. From the simple wafer through to decadent chocolate covered cones, each bite adds a crispy bite and even more deliciousness to your favorite frozen flavors.

We like to think of ourselves as ice cream connoisseurs, and as such, here is our rundown of some of the best tasting cones out there:

Wafer Cones (also known as cake cones)

These little beauties are the most popular in the ice cream world and have a taste that instantly reignites memories of your childhood. Light and flaky with just the right amount of sugary sweetness, the wafer cone goes well with just about every ice cream flavor ever made. Choose from a single scoop to a cone piled high with different flavors, and the waffle cones can cope with them all. Crispy and sweet, the humble cake cone is the perfect addition to our rich and creamy nitrogen ice cream.

These types of cone often come with a flat base, making them perfect for children or anyone who wants to put their ice cream down while they do something else.

The Sugar Cone

These classic cones offer a slightly sweeter alternative to cake cones and are designed to offer a sturdier vessel for your favorite flavors. Often made using brown sugar, they have a distinctly syrupy taste, and their rigid design makes them perfect for filling them with as many scoops as you can manage.

The sturdier nature of these cones also helps to prevent them from becoming too soggy and falling apart when your ice cream starts to melt – a real benefit if you like to take your time to savor the flavor.

The Waffle Cone

Up the ante with a waffle cone next time you come and see us. Made from cake and pastry flours, with a subtle hint of molasses or brown sugar, these sweet treats have a crispy, sugary taste. Designed in a conical shape with a waffled exterior, these cones are hardcore and can handle as many scoops as you care to throw at them. Better still, you can dip these in chocolate for extra deliciousness, and even add sprinkles or coconut for even more fun flavors.

Waffle cones are made using a special press and have a thicker, fluffier consistency than regular sugar cones. Because of their unique shape, the ice cream fills all the way to the end, and you may even need a spoon to reach those final sweet pieces.

The Pretzel Cone

For a heady mix of sweet and savory flavors, the pretzel cone offers a satisfying crunch in every bite. This salty twist on the traditional sweetness of the other types of ice cream cone, adds a mature and sophisticated feel to your ice cream treat. The salty exterior will perfectly compliment the sweetness of the ice cream, and these cones work really well with grown-up flavors and alcoholic ices.

If you ever dipped a pretzel into a scoop of ice cream, then you can imagine just how delicious this taste combination will be!
