Hot Fudge Sundaes Brownie Bowls

When you have a craving for something sweet, you can not go wrong with ice cream! It is always totally satisfying! But, sometimes you just need something a little extra, something to put that delicious ice cream right over the top! Something like hot fudge, whipped cream and sprinkles and if that still isn't enough how about stuffing all of those sweet ingredients into a moist, chewy, warm brownie! Is your mouth watering yet!?! These little sundaes are so much fun and perfect because they are are individual servings! So what are you waiting for, getting baking!!

Use your favorite brownie recipe and make them in cupcake liners as you would a cupcake. 

When they are done and have cooled, scoop out the center of the brownie and fill with ice cream and your favorite sundae toppings!

Ice Cream Cone Cake Pops

So, its national ice cream month, yay! A whole month dedicated to ice cream, what could be better!?! We thought it would be fun to share a little ice cream inspired treat with you! We are just in love with these mini ice cream cones, they are so sweet! We used them to make some ice cream cone cake pops for my twin's ice cream party a few weeks ago! They were a big hit, so we are going to share with you how we made them.

Materials:

cake balls
melting chocolate {chocolate and vanilla}
mini ice cream cones
non-perils
candy balls {for cherries}
{a small bowl of sugar to stand ice cream cones in so that the cake balls covered in chocolate dry upright}

These are actually very simple, especially if you have a cake pop maker!! Make your cake pops and do not put them on sticks. When they are cooled and ready to work with you can melt your chocolate {we used the wilton melting chocolate candies, found at any craft store}. Let the chocolate cool slightly to avoid blooming. Dip each cake pop {attached to a toothpick or lolli stick} After the cake pop is dipped set onto of your ice cream cone that is set in the sugar and slowly wiggle the toothpick out. {If a little hole is left just put a little bit of chocolate on the end of the toothpick and dab it over to cover.} Once the chocolate is completely cooled, you can dip the top into the melted white chocolate and immediately sprinkle with your non-perils! If you want to you can add a candy ball for a cherry! There you have it, ice cream cake pops! 

{Please note we are not taking credit for the idea of an ice cream cone cake pop, this is just how we made our version}

Maia and Sophia's Ice Cream Birthday Party

This past weekend was my twins 5th birthday party! They decided on an ice cream theme...as we started planning it kind of took on a "happy" theme too! We have been working on a few new illustrations, so we did a new one for this party {available here}

We wanted the party to be playful, colorful and of course happy so we choose pinks, peach and mint green as a party palette. We made a small sweet table covered with a pink and white polka dot ruffled table cloth. We hung colorful paper poms and an made an "oh happy day" glittered bunting garland to go above the table! We filled the table with chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes with two birthday cupcakes topped with our diy straw birthday candles and homemade marshmallows with fringe toppers! We also made ice cream cone cake pops and our favorite tiny tim cookies. Finally, we displayed a mini birthday cake on my pink milk glass pedestal {that I got for my birthday from Kellie ♥} complete with the little clothes pin cake topper we made. 

One of our very favorite aspects to the party was the diy ice cream cone chandelier! {You may have seen the diy here} Our sweet friend and diy correspondent, Katie, created this project for us and we absolutely adore the way all of the different colored ice cream cones looked hanging on the white chandelier! Although we wanted to keep them all to ourselves, we let each little girl choose one to take home! But we had a few extra to keep ♥! We loved how the girls all put them around their necks...ice cream necklaces! 

Since this was of course and ice cream party, we also set up a little diy ice cream topping parlor. We made

an oversized cupcake flag that said "make your ice cream happy"and coordinating ice cream topping flags that we put on paper straws and stuck into the toppings. We hung a big vanilla colored pom with peach fringe over the shelf. We took white ice cream cups and taped wooden "i ♥ ice cream spoons" on them with striped washi tape! The girls got to make their own sundaes, which they loved! Then they got to fill up their bakery boxes with treats to bring home!

I love the look on Maia's face when she realized Sophia blew out the candle before she did...lol!
