What's the Difference Between a Waffle Cone and a Sugar Cone?

Both the sugar cone and the waffle cone are a kind of ice cream cone, they are similar in appearance. Do you know how to distinguish them? Here we introduce the difference between a waffle cone and a sugar cone.
Waffle Ice Cream Cones
What is a Waffle Cone?
①Pattern: The waffle cone is due to the pattern of the cone itself. The sugar cone has the same design as it, but waffle cone is usually more prominent and magnificent. Waffle cones differ because they are also softer and less crunchy than their sugar cone alternative.
 
②Taste: For enhanced appearance and texture with your ice cream servings, waffle cones blend cake and pastry flours to produce their sweet and crunchy flavor. The addition of molasses or dark brown sugar to your cone batter provides the crispy, syrupy qualities, while fiber increases strength and reduces breakage.

③Size: Most of them have natural edges, and the size is larger than the sugar cone.  Waffle cone can typically hold more ice cream than a sugar, the wide brim is also great for those who like to pile on the toppings. In addition to waffle cones, we also have waffle bowls, which can also hold more ice cream without falling.

What is a Sugar Cone?
①Sugar cones are made of flour, brown sugar, vegetable oil, shortening and other raw materials. However, unlike the waffle cone, sugar cones have a flat brim, and the sugar cone is smaller than the waffle cone, but it is also stronger. They are generally produced in batches, and the ice cream cone production line can efficiently produce this product.

②Adding brown sugar during the baking of the cones, you will find that these cones have a thicker, more brittle design, but they are usually smaller and darker in tone than the waffle cones.

The main difference between the cone and the waffle cone is the opening, the size and the pattern, other than that, there is not much difference. So both the sugar cone and the waffle cone can be made on the same equipment(sugar waffle cone making machine). If you want to make a difference in taste, you can change the formula appropriately.
