Alfred Craelle’s Ice Cream Scoop Source: blackinhistory.tumblr.com
There is nothing better on a hot day than a heaping scoop of ice cream. Alfred L. Cralle must have had the same idea when he invented the ice cream scooper. Up until February 2, 1897, the serving of ice cream required the use of two hands and at least two implements to serve.
At the age of 35, Cralle was granted a US Patent for an Ice Cream Mold and Disher, which was the original name. The design was created to keep the ice cream from sticking and easy to operate with one hand. Thank you, Alfred.

Student Author - Spring 2017
Maryann is a designer, front-end developer and family gal. I like to doodle over fonts and pour through code. Designing web interfaces has to be one of the most challenging and rewarding careers, next to teaching. Requiring constant upgrading of knowledge, meeting demanding deadlines and finding solutions to criticism. And that’s why I love it. In my spare time, I spend as much time with my family Geocaching and playing Pokemon Go. I have an incredibly family and patient husband, James and three wonderful children. Chances are, you’ll find me either in front of a computer screen, at school, or with my family.
