Ice Cream Social Round-Up

For some reason I'm on an ice cream kick today.  My husband is a HUGE sweet tooth and I'm sorta the carb-a-holic in the bunch.  That being said, I have a weakness for ice cream.  I'm thinking that for my birthday this year (all the way in June, so yes, I sound nuts), I'd like to have an ice cream social with all the windows in our little apartment wide open.  Music, ice cream, and a breeze.  That would be a good day.

If you're interested in what my brain puts together when I think of the ideal ice cream soiree, here goes:

TABLEWARE ---
Have a buffet table filled with cheery little cups, spoons, pints (with painted polka dots or little chalkboard stickers), and plenty of napkins.

Polka dot bowl via Fish's Eddy

Ice Cream Spoons via Pomme

Toot Sweet Spotty Napkins

EATS ---
Toppings are key, mine would be colorful and specialized.  I would probably attempt to make my own cones, maybe even try my hand at ice cream!

Toppings via Williams Sonoma

Fill some baskets (via Anthropologie) with fresh berries

Caramel Topping via American Spoon Foods

Dispenser (via Williams Sonoma) could be filled with homemade whipped cream!

Waffle Cone Recipe via Martha Stewart

Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe (via A Cup of Jo) - only if you are VERY ambitious.

I would also crumble up some Vosges Caramel Toffee and sprinkle it right over a bowl of my favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor.

NOTE: You could make one of these booze-filled ice cream floats for some extra party fun!


DECOR ---
Easy little projects and details could really spruce up this party:

Ice Cream Cone Pinata via Hobby Lobby

Ice Cream Cone Stamp via Paper Source (for paper goods)

Ice Cream Cone Garland Tutorial via Oh Happy Day!

Soft Serve Temporary Tattoo via Tattly

Confetti-filled balloons via Kojo Designs

Go forth and plan!

HUGS!
