Mac & Cheese Cones
| Origin | Winter Camp XXXVIII (2014) |
| The Story | Mac & Cheese Cones entered the Winter Camp world via FaceBook. There were pictures of people eating these wonderful ice cream cones full of macaroni and cheese which were very popular. It seemed like a natural for us to try it -- we knew how to make mac & cheese and how to make bread, so it would be easy. Well, not quite. The cones are conical. Our first attempt was just to make long strips of dough and wind them around each other. I didn't really work very well and it took a lot of time to make even a single cone. Luckily, Doug Wilson was involved in engineering the meal and that provided several advantages: first, he started making cones a couple of days in advance; second, he knows a lot about dough; and third, he's actually an engineer. He eventually created the cone foiler, a conical piece of cardboard wrapped in tin foil. The cones still took a while to make, but it was faster. He and Kristie Donohue did most of the cone foiling over a period of a couple of days and they were ready for the Luncheon at Trout Lake on day 3. It surprised no one when Doug suggested that Macaroni and Cheese Cones be added to the Historic Banquet list. |
