The wooden cone shown was carved by Merriam Erickson sometime in the 1970’s. As cultures have blended through the years this Norwegian dessert was always a favorite at family gatherings at New Year’s! It is so wonderful to still have the use of this handmade cone and the Krum Kake iron as we recall special times spent with our loved ones.
