When's the last time you went to an ice cream social?
After last weekend, I'm in the belief that adults don't get enough of them.
Mr. Branflake loves ice cream
(he eats it for breakfast without blinking an eye)
so I threw him an ice cream sundae party as part of his graduation celebrations.
I'll be honest, out of all the dinner parties I've planned, this one was the most fun.
Ice Cream + Foods on a Stick + Dining Al Fresco =
Happy, Smiling Guests
 |
| Some of the toppings included: toasted coconut, sprinkles, heath bar crunch, mini Reese's PB cups, peanuts, strawberry syrup, caramel sauce, brownies, fudge, and marshmallows. |

 |
I saw donut hole kabobs on Val So Cal and fell in love.
I'm definitely repeating this for our 4th of July party.
|
 |
I bought tons of popcorn and let guests have their own popcorn bags. They loved it!
On the right: ham and cheese crescent rolls seen here.

 |
 |
Bruschetta
 Caprese Salad on a Stick |
 |
My personal favorite: salami and smoked mozzarella cheese sliders with basil mayonnaise.
|
This is just the beginning:
I'm convinced that a party is not a party without a sundae bar.
How about you?
What makes an awesome ice cream social?

I agree! Ice cream socials should happen more over. When my daughter was blessed we had build your own Sundaes with homemade varieties of pizza. mmm! Those sliders look DE-LI-CIOUS!!!
You have to have every topping known to man! At least that what my kidlets say about having an ice cream social.
hey-you don't need butter for an ice-cream social! cool idea!
Reminds me of being a kid. Love ice cream socials!
You're making my mouth water...those sandwiches!!! :)
Sooooooooooo cute!!! Sundae bar sounds like the best, tastiest idea ever. May have to copy this wonderful fiesta thought...!
Love Caprese salad on a stick! My sis made them for my baby shower!

Amazing! I'll be taking a HUGE leaf out of your book! Can you , please, do your party series again? I loved them!
MMM,so much goodies. I love everything. Thanks for the blog love.
Srpinkles and sliders! You forgot to invite me!
What a perfect celebration! I think my last ice cream social was in college–definitely something I need to revive!
What a great party idea!
Wow, you went all out! Everything looks delicious!!
great blog. LOVE the ballett stuff :)
Sundae bars are a must! That was a really cute idea.
Ice cream is the best! I could seriously eat it every day...especially chocolate ice cream...oh my...
Okay, now that you have mentioned ice cream socials, I have come to the conclusion that we are true BFF soul mates. I LOVE ice cream socials! I actually think what makes them so special is getting dressed up in pastel-colored dresses. Have you seen the latest Louis Vuitton adverts? THOSE reflect exactly what an ice cream social should be!
P.S. A romper would be awesome for dance class! They allow your body so much freedom for movement. Just be careful what color/material you select - I once wore a silky one out shopping, and a woman thought I was wearing lingerie. True story. :P
LOVE THIS POST!!!
