Museum of Ice Cream Meets Los Angeles - The Insiders 'Scoop'
Such a great mix of recipes for the Fourth Cindy (love your slide show btw). I’m especially intrigued by those candy shot glasses (I have the molds to make them too). And I wanted to make a flag pie. . .but as luck would have it. . . I think I am running out of time. I guess I will just have to admire this one.
Such an awesome round-up Cindy!! Thank you for including my popsicles! Can’t wait to eat my way through all the others!
I absolutely LOVE the flag pie and the sparkler cake… I better get to baking! Oh and those shot glasses are poppin’
Okay….the flag pie is pretty awesome and very creative. I have to attempt to make it and the jolly rancher shots look good too and colorful. The sparkler cake is genius but I would put lots of sparklers XD
Such a delicious, festive and fun round-up, Cindy! Thank you so much for including my parfait! I’m honored! Cheers, girlfriend!
Great round-up! So festive 🙂 Loving the flag pie and plotting how I can do the Canadian flag as a pie 😉
Those candy shot glasses are just awesome – what a great selection of recipes – thanks and HAPPY 4th!!
I am loving all of the berry goodness here!! SO hard to pick just one dessert to make, I may have to try a few of them :).
