A few days ago we celebrated National Ice Cream day. Today, we will talk about the single greatest invention that took the enjoyment of ice cream to new heights. That invention, the ice cream cone.On July 23, 1904, Charles E. Minches of St. Louis, Missouri, came up with the idea of filling a pastry cone with two scoops of ice cream, thereby inventing the ice cream cone. The walk-away cone made its debut later that year at the St. Louis World's Fair.
So, today, feel free to enjoy an ice cream cone to commemorate this wonderful date in the history of desserts. And, of course, you can't really enjoy an ice cream cone without a huge scoop of ice cream on top!
