ORDER YOUR CONE
SCOOPIDY ceramic ice cream cones custom hand made by Tasha Miller start at $500 (baby scoops) and travel up to thousands of dollars, depending on how big the scoops are * and how tall we go!
Tasha crafts an ice cream cone specially for every client. You may have favorite flavors or a color theme in mind. Maybe it’s a tricky space and you want it to travel beyond the wall. One scoop for each grandchild perhaps? Maybe you want 10 feet all vanilla! Or 20 feet of mint chip…or jalapeño carrot cake for Heavens sake! Maybe you want to win the world record for owning the tallest ceramic ice cream cone EVER MADE. Or one that winds around the living room. (Literally.) Tasha Miller will make it happen. Even if you just want two scoops, straight up.
*All cones pictured in this website have “regular” sized scoops (roughly one adult fist). Cones with this scoop size begin at $2500.

ABOUT SCOOPIDY
Each ceramic ice cream cone is the only one like it. These lively detailed works of art are colorful balancing acts of nostalgia, strength, happiness and hope. Tasha handcrafts each ice cream scoop using Georgies’ White Salmon (with Grog) clay, fired twice — bisque at 1945°F and after glazing, at 2232°F — then threaded along a rolled steel rod. A durable dessert for everyone.
It all started staring at page 20 in my old Sesame Street Bedtime Storybook from the 1970s. I make freakishly impossible ice cream cones because [with little Herbie and Betty Lou] I watched Grover do it! “Grover and the 26 Scoops” by Patricia Thackray is everything! The illustrations (by Marc Nadel) of the story at Ye Olde ABC Ice Cream Parlor are delightful! SCOOPIDY is a stunning vertical chaos that I hope to see decorate living rooms, museums and ice cream shops across the globe. In this world, it’s pretty safe to say everyone loves ice cream. I made the first cone for our Portland family home, Valentina. She is 8 feet high with 51 scoops. Three of them are my favorite, mint chip. When my littlest piano students walk past the cone on the way to their living room lesson, they like to stop and stare, contemplating the flavors and how this all came to be. I tell them to listen to their dreams.

Dear Tasha, you poured months — and your heart — into this, and I want you to know it means everything to us. I am in complete awe of your ceramic cone. The care, creativity, and love you put into it radiates from every inch. It stopped me in my tracks when I saw it — and even more so now, knowing the story behind it. That rose-colored scoop with black trim is just too good. But honestly, this whole idea is one of my favorite things we’ve ever done. You’ve inspired me to dream up a flavor inspired by your ceramic cone! Tasha, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve reminded me why we do what we do.

Sometimes, art just captivates. The Impossible Ice Cream Cone, now mounted in the corner of our kitchen, instantly captures attentions and imaginations alike. There’s an elaborate story behind the colors, and the shape itself suggests an imminent fall to the unsuspecting eye. But mostly, the Impossible Ice Cream Cone is reflective of Tasha herself: whimsical, lighter than air, and a constant source of joy.

Ice Cream Our Life. The whimsically crafted, vibrantly colored, and impossibly stacked scoops on Tasha Miller's sculpture is a powerful metaphor for the precarious, fleeting, yet sweet, nature of life. This art is deeply personal: the artist invited us to customize every scoop - from "Snowy Peaks" marshmallow to "Oh Hi, Ojai" orange to “Coeur D’Alene Huckleberry" - allowing each color and flavor to represent a part of our family's life. We treasure the symbolism and delight in the whimsy.

Our 16 scoop tall ice cream cone brings so much joy to our little ice cream store. The creativity, care and nostalgia that went into it is so evident and I love that it’s the first thing customers see when they walk in the door (or through the window since it’s so eye catching!). Tasha thought of everything from how to keep it secure on the wall to how each scoop should lay to get the best effect. I know Scoopidy Doo Da will be around for as long as Prince Puckler’s keeps on scooping.
