Frequently Asked Questions
How does the #40 size compare to the #30 or #60?
This is the most common technical search. The #40 is a "Medium" cake cone. The #30 is smaller (ideal for toddlers/tasting), and the #60 is larger (designed for double scoops). Searchers find the #40 is the "sweet spot" for a standard QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) single scoop.
Is there a "Jacketed" version of this cone?
Yes. While this specific 600-count case is non-jacketed, users often search for the #40 Jacketed version if their local health code or brand standards require a sanitary paper barrier. The non-jacketed version is preferred for its lower cost-per-unit in self-service or low-touch environments.
Can I "crisp up" soft cones?
A top-searched "pro-tip" for 2026. If cake cones lose their crunch due to humidity, users search for Joy’s official fix: Place cones on a baking sheet in a $300°F$ ($149°C$) oven for exactly 2 minutes, then turn off the heat and let them sit. This removes moisture and restores the factory snap.
Is this cone safe for nut-free facilities?
Yes. Joy Cone Company is widely searched for its safety standards. All Joy cake cones are produced in Peanut-Free and Tree-Nut-Free facilities, making them the safest choice for school cafeterias and public event venues.
Why use Tapioca Flour in the batter?
Curious searchers find that the addition of tapioca flour is what prevents the cone from becoming "soggy" or "cardboard-like." It provides a unique structural integrity that allows the cone to hold moisture from melting soft serve without breaking.
Does it fit in a standard dispenser?
Yes. The #40 is designed for Simpli-Flex and other standard side-mount or counter-mount tube dispensers. Users recommend checking for a $2\ 5/8"$ to $3"$ collar size to ensure a smooth, one-at-a-time release.
Can these be used for "Cake Pops" or Baking?
"Baking cupcakes in ice cream cones" is a massive seasonal search. Because these have a flat bottom, they are the #1 choice for "Cone-Cakes." They stand upright on a cookie sheet in the oven, and the #40 size holds a perfect standard cupcake amount of batter.
