Patent ID: 8840943

Claim:
A method of preparing a multi-colored baked cake cone, which comprises: dosing a thin layer of controlled width of a modified cake dough to a first baking plate to provide a decorative pattern of lines, circles, waves or dots of a color other than brown or black; completely and homogeneously gelatinizing the dough to ensure that the decorative pattern maintains its contours during subsequent operations; applying a conventional cake dough that contains sugar and that will become brown or black after baking onto the completely and homogeneously gelatinized modified cake dough in the pattern; thereafter applying a second baking plate upon the first so that the conventional cake dough spreads into the final shape of a wafer sheet and fully covers the decorative pattern and baking the conventional dough to form a baked wafer, wherein the modified cake dough is formulated to impart at least one color other than brown or black to the cone after baking and rolling, and wherein the modified cake dough is one that after baking is (a) either white in color or includes added colors other than brown or black, (b) does not contain a sugar substitute and (c) is sugarless or substantially sugar free with any sugar present in the modified cake dough being in an amount that is less than that which provides browning to the degree that the imparted color is lost during baking; rolling the wafer sheet after baking to provide a multicolor cake cone, with the conventional cake dough present at a thickness sufficient to support the modified cake dough during the rolling, and containing an amount of sugar sufficient to impart flexibility to the conventional dough after baking, such that the conventional dough provides support necessary to maintain the cone in the desired shape or configuration after baking, and wherein the modified cake dough layer, after baking, provides a different color other than brown or black to the cone to change its color appearance compared to baked cake cones of conventional sugar containing dough.
