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?
Oh.My.Gosh. This seems like the most amazing party ever!!

ReplyDeletegreat blog. LOVE the ballett stuff :)
ReplyDeleteSundae bars are a must! That was a really cute idea.
ReplyDeleteIce cream is the best! I could seriously eat it every day...especially chocolate ice cream...oh my...
ReplyDeleteOkay, 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!
ReplyDeleteP.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!!!
