Icecream Journal

This month’s poll is simple, though the choice in real life may not always be. When you visit your local ice cream shop (which, as an ice cream lover, you really should be doing more often…remember our New Year’s resolutions?), are you more of a cup person or a cone person? It’s a valid question. Some of us are strictly one or the other and some of us kind of go back and forth depending on our mood.

You’ll also notice in our poll that we’ve broken down the “cone” category into the two main families of cones: sugar (or waffle) and wafer (sometimes referred to as a “cake” cone). The sugar and waffle cones are a dense, brittle, crunchy cone. They’re almost always tall and pointy-ended, although some ice cream shops offer waffle bowls (technically not a “cone”), sometimes dipped in chocolate and other sweets.

The wafer cones, on the other hand, are much different. These are the light, airy, flat-bottomed ones you probably remember from your childhood. The flat bottom comes in handy when you want to take break and put your cone on a table or a leather car seat. Most soft serve ice cream is served up in a wafer cone. These are also the type of cone you’re most likely to see being sold in boxes at the grocery store.
