This is how your favorite ice cream cone is made

Nothing reminds us best of childhood in the Philippines quite like munching ice cream in a sugar cone or baby wafer cone.

In Unang Hirit's For Today's Video segment, which aired on Tuesday, New Star Apa Corporation, one of the biggest sugar cone factories in the Philippines, showed how they produced kids' favorite ice cream cones.

According to the "Unang Hirit" report, the factory can produce one million pieces of apa or cones per day using its machinery, and the creation of apa is as fast as when you finish eating ice cream on a bright sunny day.

The procedure is simple. After putting all the ingredients in the mixer, mainly sugar and flour, it will then be baked in a huge oven before the roller machines shape it from a waffle-like pastry into a cone.

New Star Apa can produce up to 7,000 pieces of apa per hour.

After the cones are baked and shaped, these will go through a metal detector machine to ensure that no metal or other hazardous substance are mixed in the product. The cones are then placed inside packaging.

The factory sells 12 pcs of cones for PHP52, and the shelf life spans up to eight months.
