The ice cream cone has been popular since the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis when an ice cream vendor, who had run out of dishes, improvised and used a cone-shaped cookie as an edible container. Making ice cream cones brings some of this festivity right into your own kitchen. Making fresh waffle cones is a great project you can do together with the kids on the weekend or during sleepovers. It's lots of fun, doesn't take a lot of time & is a great memory creator.

Though there are may different waffle cone makers on the market this company puts out a good quality product at a fair price. In using this appliance in our test kitchen, I have found it to work excellent with our waffle cone batter. This is not the top of the line but it performs like the top of the line at half the price. However, if you already have a waffle cone maker use what you have. Instead of using a spoon to drop the batter on the waffle cone baking plate we us a #20 Blue Disher - 2 oz. also available on this site. The use of a disher will make your waffle cones more consistent and make it much easier.
