Charcuterie cone inspiration

Love all things charcuterie? Who doesn’t! But have you gone one step further and tried your hand at making a charcuterie cone yet? It may sound intimidating, but trust us – it’s not as tricky as it seems to make these delectable edible cones that are filled with an array of savory flavors. We’ll show you the tips and tricks that will allow you to create top-notch cones right in your own home.

How to Create Charcuterie Cones

If you want to show off your charcuterie-making skills, charcuterie cones are a great way to start. There’s no “one size fits all” recipe on how to make the perfect cone – it’s all about being creative and having fun with it! Here’s some guidelines on how to get started:

Step 1 – Pick your cone. It could be paper, a food item, a waffle cone, etc. You’ll find a lots of inspiration in this post, so don’t worry if you’re not exactly sure on what you want yet! 

Step 2 – Use your taller food items (long crackers, long slice of pineapple, etc.) to create a base and backdrop for the cone. The taller items allow sturdiness for the rest of the cone, so it’s important these go first.

Step 3: Add in your smaller ingredients until the cone is filled. This is where your creativity can really shine through. Don’t worry about making each cone identical, the uniqueness is what makes charcuterie cones so fun! 

Step 4: Add your finishing decorative touches (like rosemary), and put your masterpieces on display. Below are some of my favorite cone holders from Amazon to really make your cones shine!
