So, I was standing in the checkout aisle at the local grocer’s and this eye-catcher, well, caught my eye! bon appétit’s August issue made me want to go buy 10 buckets of ice-cream and sauce. Check out the online version for all the summer goodies they have for more drool-worthy pictures.
For the past couple of summers, I have hosted ice-cream socials, where guests each brought toppings to share and we let the kids make any type of sundae they could imagine. We set up a buffet outside on the picnic table with all the fixins like brownies, bananas, whipped cream, and the kids and wasps just love it! This year, we just have too much going on this summer to host at this point, although the urge may hit me later this summer. An ice-cream social is a perfect summer event, so I’ve gathered some wonderful ice-cream ideas for your own chilly soiree….
So, over at paper + cup you can make personalized wooden ice-creams spoons!! I love events when they they pay attention to the small details, and how neat are these spoons. They are marketed for weddings, (50 piece min. order), where you can print your names, wedding date, etc. Maybe something like “Enjoy the summer” or “Thanks for coming”, neutral enough to use year after year.
Consider this serving set to display your mix-ins and toppings in style.
A great girl’s night in idea; create ice-cream based on the ladies in your life with eCreamery’s online custom ice cream & gelato shop, that let’s you choose your own flavors, mix-ins, packaging, even your own ice cream name. For the highly creative, Our Lady of All Things Handmade has this wonderful Minty Chip Sea Turtle turtle that would make any ice-cream party proud.
If you are fortunate to live near a Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop, 
some do catering and host birthday parties there. And if you are really, really lucky and live in Vermont, you can visit their factory. Luckily I live no where near there, otherwise I may never leave!!
