• An ice cream cone, poke or cornet is
a dry, cone-shaped pastry, usually
made of a wafer similar in texture to
a waffle, which enables ice cream to
be held in the hand and eaten
without a bowl or spoon. Various
types of ice cream cones include
wafer (or cake) cones, waffle cones,
and sugar cones.
Many novelty style cones are
made, including pretzel cones and
chocolate-coated cones. A variety
of double wafer cone exists that
. two scoops of ice cream to

be served side by side. Wafer
cones are often made with a flat
bottom instead of a pointed,
conical shape, enabling the ice
cream and "cone" to stand upright
on a surface without
support. These types of wafer
cones are often branded as "cups"
