We All Scream for…

Ice Cream!  As much of the U.S. continues its record heat wave temps, we reach for the cold stuff to help us beat the heat.  Last weekend my family spent almost 20 minutes waiting in line for mint choc chip cones… and the line was even longer when we left!  Summer means ice cream for many of us, so if you are planning a special celebration this summer – be sure to include this sweet treat.

'Sweet Treats Childrens Birthday Invite' by Eliza DeVogel

Hosting a child’s birthday party this summer?  Most kids absolutely LOVE creating their own sundaes and it can’t get much easier to setup a production line of ice cream flavors, sauces, whipped cream and candy toppings.  Create birthday invitations online and set the mood with this vintage-inspired birthday party invitation available in blue, green or pink (we just love the cupcake and ice cream cone smiley faces!)

For a more sophisticated ice cream touch, consider making an ice cream cake; it’s surprisingly easy to do, looks impressive, and can be customized for the occasion.  This neapolitan ice cream cake recipe from domestic diva Martha Stewart contains very few ingredients, is quick to prepare, and eliminates the need to fire up the stove in this summer heat.

Even if you don’t have a summer birthday celebration coming up, indulge in a few scoops this weekend because July is National Ice Cream month and the third Sunday of the month is National Ice Cream Day.  Happy Scooping!
