Hello,
From One Ice Cream Lover To Another. I Thought You Would Enjoy A Little Ice Cream History That You Probably Haven't Heard. And Maybe You Would Like To Be A Part Of Creating A Little History Too.

Between the late 1800s, early 1900s the debate remains as to who invented the ice cream cone. Everyone has heard the stories about the ice cream vendor at the 1904 World's Fair being rescued by a waffle vendor when he was desperate for a dish to serve his ice cream.

What people don't realize is that the American spirit of enterprise made the freshly made ice cream cone a very short lived idea. No later than a couple of years passed that the ice cream cone was first a hit at the World's Fair did those same people quickly become creative in order to start manufacture the ice cream cone on a large scale in order to fill the public's desire for the newly invented ice cream cone.

Since then, at least until the early 1980s, the American public has settled for the convenience of getting what they want delivered to them promptly. And so went the wonderful invention of the freshly handmade ice cream cone. Replaced by the boxed sugar cone and cake cone made weeks in advance at one of this country's early cone manufacturing companies.

Don't get me wrong. The cones taste wonderful and like most people I can safely say that I've eaten more than my fair share. But they pale in comparison to the taste of a freshly made ice cream cone, hot off the waffle iron.

Enter the present day savior of the freshly made ice cream cone, Jorn Caroe and the Caroe Trading Company from Demark, who in the early 1980s began his endeavor in Solvang, California.

Haven't heard this story? Of course you haven't. That's because just as Jorn got started here in America with his idea of bringing back the freshly made ice cream cone to ice cream parlors across this country, large manufactures jumped on the idea and made the faster, less expensive cone maker you now see in ice cream parlors everywhere.

To get the complete story and see Jorn's original cone maker visit IceCreamJunkies.Com. Don't forget to check out our offer of a free cone making recipe book, "The Great American Ice Cream Cone".

Also, around the mid 1980s, thanks to Jorn Caroe's cone maker the Cookie Cone was invented for the customers of a beach town in California. Giggles' Ice Cream Parlor in Port Hueneme, California expanded on Jorn's freshly made cone idea by creating a variety of cookie flavored cones that Giggles' customers could match up with their favorite ice cream flavor.

Today in nearly all ice cream parlors around the country, Jorn Caroe's original idea to bring back the Cone Baker of the past has men and women in every ice cream parlor recreating by hand the freshly made ice cream cone of the past.

IceCreamJunkies.Com feels like the handmade ice cream cone is finally here to stay. And from the feedback the original owners of Giggles' Ice Cream Parlor and inventor of the Cookie Cone have received from former Giggles' customers, the country is ready to enjoy the latest idea of mixing and matching the handmade cone to the ice cream flavor of choice.

As for the men and women in ice cream stores across America and around the world, who daily bake you and I freshly made ice cream cones. We salute you. You may not realize it but you are carrying on the century old tradition of Cone Baker and you should be proud of your craft.

As for the ice cream parlor owners. Don't let go of the idea of a freshly baked ice cream cone. How often does the public get to enjoy the taste and smell of old world baking. And for the people creating these delicious culinary bites each day.
We ask that ice cream lovers everywhere vote to make July 17th National Handmade Ice Cream Cone Day in honor of the thousands of people baking cones each day in this country so they can get the recognition they deserve for a delightful job well done.

Note: Please cut and paste the above story, as well as this notation, and place it in your emails. Then pass it around so we can gather the votes of individuals that consider themselves proud ice cream lovers, as well as those same men and women baking cones in your neighborhood ice cream parlor. There are National Days of Observance for all sorts of fantastic things and as we go into National Ice Cream Month (July), declared as such by President Ronald Reagan, we hope your efforts will give the Handmade Ice Cream its own day of observance.

J Thanks To All J
