History of National Ice Cream Cone Day

National Ice Cream Cone Day

There was no proper mention of the first National Ice Cream Cone Day and its founder. However, the Ice Cream Cone has a long history. But the history of the Ice Cream Cone had too much confusion as to who had introduced the cone. Ice cream cones first became popular during the late 1800s in the United States. One could see the earliest mention of the ice cream cone in the 1825’s French cooking books. It was described by Julien Archambault as one could roll a cone from the little waffles. In 1888, Mrs. A. B. Marshall’s Cookery Book mentioned that cornets are made with almonds, baked in the oven, and are not pressed between irons with her recipe for Cornet with Cream. Lately, two Italian entrepreneurs, namely Antonio Valvona and Italo Marchiony, had patented the Ice Cream Cornet in the years 1902 and 1903, respectively. Abe Doumar and the Doumar family will also claim the credit for making the ice cream cone.

In 1907, Abe Doumar and his brother sold almost twenty-three thousand cones at the Jamestown Exposition. They then brought a semi-automatic 36-iron machine that produced 20 cones per minute. Even after crossing a century, Doumar’s Drive-In in Norfolk, Virginia, is still producing the Ice Cream Cornets. There was also a mention that the ice cream cone had made its debut in 1904 at the World’s Fair in St. Louis. Usually, an ice cream cone or cornet is a dry, cone-shaped pastry made of a wafer that is similar in texture to the waffle. The cornet lets you hold it in your hand with ice creams filled inside the cone. So, without a spoon or a bowl, one could lick the ice cream with the cone. There are various types of ice cream cones available, including wafer or cake cones, waffle cones, and sugar cones. There are many different styles of cones available, like pretzel cones, chocolate-coated cones, and wafer cones. Most often, Wafer cones are made with a flat bottom and are called cups.
