What is a Sugar Cone?
Sugar cones were the way that sugar was purchased in colonial times. The cone looked like a pyramid with the top cut off. Tongs were used to hold the cone in a cup of tea, melting a small amount of the sugar into the warm beverage. Sugar cones of the sort that might be used to make candles are actually designed to look like the sugar cone molds. These candle holders are usually made of wood and have holes for several candles that can be lit at once. The candles themselves are shaped like the sugar cones, with the wider part at the top and tapering toward the bottom. You can get a look at the sugar cone holders (and buy them if you like) at Napa Style.
