An Old World 
Ice Cream Cone Maker

Believe it or not the ice cream cone makers you see today in your neighborhood  ice cream parlor are not the original waffle cone makers that began the waffle cone craze of the 1980s.

The cone makers of today were the product idea of smart appliance manufacturers who quickly wanted to bring to market an affordable cone maker that could be used for the high volume of customers visiting ice cream parlors around the country.

The ice cream cone makers needed to bake cones fast, so they were electric to bake the cones on both sides at once. They also needed to be as simple as the appliances you place in your home, because ice cream parlors weren't going to spend lots of money to set one up. And finally they needed to be as inexpensive as possible for the handmade cone idea to spread across America by way of the ice cream parlor.

Appliance manufacturers came up with ice cream cone makers similar to what you see below. Costing approximately $400 for a single cone maker, to $800 for a double cone maker. The distributors loved it because they would also make money from selling waffle cone mix to shop owners as well.

As usual, the person with the original idea becomes forgotten as progress moves forward to bring America the next best thing to make it to market since sliced bread.

The goal of The ConeKing and IceCreamJunkies.Com is to make the public aware of the gentleman who brought back to ice cream lovers around the world the freshly made ice cream cone we all enjoy today.

He deserves the credit because he was a regular guy like you and I. An immigrant with an idea. Investing his hard earned cash to try and make a dream come true. And unlike the public who in the end reaps the benefits of a great idea. Many times the idea's originator most often finds himself being passed by as big money slides into their place to bring the idea to market in a big way. Thereby, getting most of the money that's to be made from the idea.

Jorn's Big Daddy of a Cone Machine brought to America by the Jorn Caroe Trading Company of Demark cost approximately $3500 dollars and could be used with a tank of propane, making it portable or natural gas to be used in store.

Individual cone baking was a little bit slower than the electric models because the waffle irons needed to be rotated and flipped on the wheel, as they passed over 5 gas burners while baking. But six cones could be made at one time. Making the over all out put a little bit faster than the electric model.

Placing one of these cone makers in your store's window was a show that had customers young and old, pressing their faces up against the glass. The electric models were placed on the back counter, work area, never really giving thought to show off the  cone rolling skill of the Cone Baker. 

Add to that the wonderful smell of a half dozen cones being baked at once. Filling the air outside and bring people into the store literally by their noses. Because they couldn't resist following their senses on a culinary journey of discovery.

Below is a picture of Jorn's Cone Maker and I hope you enjoyed this blog. If you run across one of Jorn's Machines in your neighborhood, please send us an e-mail with the location information to: info@icecreamjunkies.com 
We'd love to know these cone makers are still around somewhere.
