How the Ice Cream Cone Began

The first true edible conical shaped cone for serving ice cream was created at the St. Louis Worlds Fair by Ernest Hamwi in 1904. His waffle booth was next to an ice cream vendor who ran short of dishes. Hamwi rolled a waffle to contain ice cream and the cone was born.

In 1904 St. Louis, Missouri was the place to be.

In 1920 Ernest Hamwi was issued a patent for a pastry cone making machine. His Missouri Cone Company later became the Western Cone Company as the market for ice cream popularity spread and the company grew.

The first true edible conical shaped cone for serving ice cream was created at the St. Louis Worlds Fair by Ernest Hamwi in 1904. The cone obviously gained popularity across the United States because by 1924 Americans were consuming upwards of 245 million cones per year.

Today, the largest ice cream cone company in the world is the Joy Cone Company of Pennsylvania. The company is baking over 1.5 billion cones per year to assure the world’s demands.

At Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas and Subs you can enjoy Ashby’s Sterling Premium Ice Cream in a variety of ice cream cones including the traditional cake cone, sugar cone, a variety of waffle cones, cookie cones, oreo cones, and pretzel cones.
