Seeking Sweetness: Daily Image, Cookie Monster Ice Cream

CakeSpy Note: For no particular reason, other than to sweeten your day, I post a feel-good image here every now and again. Today's pick: a sweet treat I enjoyed in New Jersey recently, "Cookie Monster" ice cream from Hoffman's Ice Cream's Spring Lake, NJ location. What's "Cookie Monster" ice cream? Well, to the best of my taste buds, it's several types of cookies mashed into some blue tinted ice cream. Or maybe they just put the cookie monster in a blender? Either way, it was delicious and sweet and a very happy thing to eat.

Employee: Our flavor of the day is Birthday Cake Batter. Would you like to sample it?

Me: Actually I'd like a scoop in a cup, and can I get rainbow sprinkles?

Employee: It already has rainbow sprinkles in it.

Me: Well...then can I have more rainbow sprinkles?

Carmen was one of my first customers when I opened my webstore in 2007. In the time we have "known" each other, she has gotten engaged...then gotten married...then had a baby...then started her own business! And I finally got to meet her in person this weekend, at the Schoolhouse Craft Conference. It was a sweet reminder of how far we've come, and where we're going. Sweet!
