Today in Pastry History

The first machine for rolling ice cream cones was patented. By Carl Taylor of Cleveland, Ohio. Though I have to confess that at the moment I’m not really feeling much like ice cream. The snow, and especially the ice, is making the simplest out-of-doors tasks extremely difficult and time-consuming. The end result has been less time for posting. Phooey. I’d hoped to get more done this week.
