The first mention of the cone being used as an edible receptacle for the ice cream is in "Mrs. A.B. Marshall's Book of Cookery" of 1888. Her recipe for "Cornet with Cream" said that "the cornets were made with almonds and baked in the oven, not pressed between irons". The ice cream cone was popularized in the US at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, MO.
