Square or Rectangular Ice Cream Cones

stressedoutmother

Does anyone know where I can buy square ice cream cones to put in a slice of ice cream from a block? Am I the only person who can remember these? Please help!

Thank you,
Stressed xx

I'll keep my eys peeled for them when 'm out and about, but I've just bee to the the Askeys website and there's no sign of them there.

Can u remember who made them? if it wasn't Askeys, you just might be in luck!

Yes, I remember square Ice Creams, I was quite little then though!

I've never seen square cones for sale, I though you put rectangular blocks of ice cream between rectangular ice cream wafers.

If i remember correctly i think the square cones were made by a campany called marcantonio. (Not sure if they are still around though)

Rather than searcing the supermarket have you tried your local independant shop? It maybe worth asking in there.

Hope you find them.

Thanks for your replies - I looked on the marcantonio website and it looks like they must have stopped making them. They are a vague memory from my childhood too but it's for a summer fete to make it easier to sell ice creams using blocks of ice cream in stead of scoops. I am on the committee (what an idiot I am for volunteering) and they're all scared to death of the ice cream melting & causing a health scare!

I know the NHS still use the small blocks of ice-cream for their meals (or at least they did up until recently) and I would imagine if the small blocks are still made, then the cones to go with them should be to.

How about Askey's they are one of the bigger cone makers, give them a try.

I remember the rectangular ice cream cornets from when I was a child. Walls ice cream used to make individually wrapped ice cream bricks and also made the rectangular wafer cornets to take these. I have not seen these for years but if they were around today I would buy them. Let's hope Walls bring them back. :T

I can't remember if it's Farmfoods or Iceland who do little blocks of ice cream with the rectangular wafers included in the box, used to be fairly cheap too.
