Alphabet Pasta Toppers For Ice Cream

 I am rebelling against the idea of "cupcake toppers" because I think that term discriminates against ice cream!

I love the alphabet pasta bobby pin tutorial I keep seeing on pinterest, and I remembered seeing a cake topper made with alphabet pasta awhile back. I mean, why stick to sprinkles and whipped cream on top of ice cream? The little gingerbread boy is a cake decoration I picked up from the grocery store, and I think he looks perfectly happy to be on top of a mountain of ice cream!

Get a little creative and stick them in your sprinkles too!

Mollie Makes + Sucre Shop

The British magazine Mollie Makes is filled to the brim with perfectly on trend, beautifully styled and interesting stories. The are a great resource for pretty crafts and I pick it up every month at Barnes and Noble. I felt absolutely delighted (and that's a word I don't use often!) to see our ice cream spoons on their blog.

Rimmed Ice Cream Cones

To kick off Summer time, we thought we'd kick up some ice cream cones! Hey, we rim a margarita glass with salt, why not rim an ice cream cone too?

We love sweets, but also the salty and sweet combo, so we found a fun way to add those flavors to your ice cream cone without making your own ice cream!

You'll want to get some supplies together, set out your various toppings in bowls and use our scoops to dish out your ingredients. Don't forget ice cream spoons for anyone who prefers a bowl. need some caramel as the base. We used dulce de leche from World Market at the glue to hold our toppings on. It's thick and doesn't run, you can spread it on with a knife.

 Fun, fruity mini-marshmallows look so pretty and will make the kids happy.

Have fun creating your own cone rims! Licorice may not appeal to everyone, but it looks great and hey, I like it!

For the gourmet crowd, we crsiped some prosciutto. It's a little more delicate than bacon, and tastes great with the caramel and strawberry ice cream!

And here are the salty options. Pretzel cones are my favorite, but they're hard to find in the grocery store. Make your own! And while you're busy crushing pretzels, why not crush some potato chips too? (It takes amazing, I promise!) For the purists, we through in the original inspiration, a salted caramel rim.

Have fun!

Eat, Drink & Have S'more

With our new vintage-designed ice cream cups debuting in Wintertime, we've been playing a lot with the idea of seasonality. Sucre Shop designer Lindsay put together this dreamy hot cocoa & ice cream combo which makes me go running for s'more toppings! The idea is that the same toppings are delish on cocoa and ice cream. Brilliant! The best part? We are giving you the free printable so you can put this little shin-dig together on your own. Here's how we did it:

After gathering out toppings and some mason jars, we filled them up and used our reversible tags to address them to our friends.

(Awwww, thanks Lindsay!)

Ice cream is ready to go, topped with your favorite seasonal treats.

Don't forget the cocoa!

Save room for s'more!
