I had a low-key birthday this year.
Usually, I celebrate with a lot of food. This year though, it being extra busy and stressful, both at home and at work, I didn't have much time to prep anything - let alone cook. I had received a new toy a few weeks ago though, and had been wanting to try it out. So when my birthday came around, I thought it would be the perfect chance to test out my new Severin Wafer/Cone Maker!
My kids are really fond of Sugar Cones. I know, added sugar to an already sugar high treat. But I am not a fan of those bland cones either, thus I give in when they pick the sugary ones out at the supermarket. So when I was given a Severin Wafer/Cone Maker, the thought of making my own cones just tickled my imagination! Yes, the possibilities! I can even use this for Bento!
I went searching for a recipe that was more on the crepe side. My kids love a good crepe as well (the Severin Crepe Maker is next on my to-buy list!). So when I found this recipe on allrecipes.com, I knew that with a little tweaking, this would make a good waffle wafer cone recipe!

| From my kitchen to yours. |
Initially, the thought of making these cones from scratch intimidated me. But when Michelle invited me to attend the Severin and Braun event a few weeks back, I saw just how easy it was to make my own with the Severin Wafer/Cone Maker. Did I say easy? I meant VERY EASY!
 |
| Eggs and Sugar. Whisk until frothy. Nope, no need for an electric mixer! |
 |
| Whisk in all other ingredients. |
 |
| Whisk! Whisk! Until smooth and thin. |
 |
| Once your Wafer/Cone Maker is hot and ready, pour about a tablespoon or two of the batter in the center. Cover. |
 |
| And after two minutes, VOILA! |
Once you have your waffle wafers cooked, it is important that you mold them while hot. They will crisp up once set. Use a cone molder or a cup to make your waffle wafers into wafer cups.
 |
| Mold into cones... |
 |
| ...or cups. |
 |
| Or let them set as is and have waffle cookies instead! |
I made the wafer cups early morning with the intention of taking them to the office on the first workday after my birthday (my birthday this year fell on a Saturday). While I was cooking a batch, my kids already ate about five cups! I had to make two recipes worth!
WHAT I LIKED:
Convenient
Easy to Use
Easy to Clean
Use of Own Recipe
Compact and Stores Easily
FUN!
 |
| Mmm... home made waffle wafer cups and cones with my fave Macapuno Ice Cream! |
 |
| So good! |
Next time, I shall bring the batter and the Severin Wafer/Cone Maker to the office. These are so good while hot and fresh from the griddle!
 |
| Office peeps excited to try it out! |
 |
| My dad is happy to have some ice cream. He can eat ice cream everyday! |
Yup, Happy Birthday to me!
