Initially, he made them by hand but it was difficult to meet the customer demands by making handmade cones.

It took the time to cook and then harden as they cooled. So later, he designed a waffle iron machine which made ten comes at a go. He applied for a patent in 1902 and he received it in 1903. Italo Marchioni is known to have found the ice cream sandwich later, as he served ice cream between two cookies.

The ice cream cone however gained popularity in 1904 at St. Louis World Fair. Legend has it that Ernest A. Hamwi, a Syrian, sold Zalabi (a thin waffle-like Persian pastry) next to ice cream vendor Charles Menches at the fair. Although, he did not make many sales.

Hamwi volunteered to help Charles while he was short of dishes, by offering his waffles to serve the ice cream scoops on. The customers loved the combination.

Soon, there were at least fifty ice cream vendors selling the ice cream cones. And Hamwi went on to become the superintendent of Cornucopia Waffle Co. In 1910, he founded the Missouri Cone Co.
