Photo Shoot With Nicolle From Libby Lane Press

We love to get new products in and ask our friends and customers if they'd like to try them out and see how they like them! One of the best parts about our work is that we are creating something that people use to transform their events and photo shoots into something that's just really amazing. The way people style our products blows me away! 

Nicolle from Libby Lane Press took some absolutely amazing shots of our products! See for yourself:

Strawberry Pretzel Jello Salad - yes, it's SALAD!

Crunchy/creamy/salty/sweet in one dish? Strawberry Pretzel Jello "Salad" is a little bit different, and totally delish. You will literally not be able to put your bowl down. Literally.

We have been working our way through a tray of it for the past few days - hey, it's salad and therefore healthy, right? - and now it's all gone, I feel bereft.

If you're a fan of salty and sweet together, visit Lulu The Baker and see how she makes this awesome salad.

Ok so it's not quite Fall yet, but we're ready for it! While we're dreaming of pumpkins and falling leaves, and still enjoying the heat, let's enjoy some Fall flavors on PUMPKIN ICE CREAM! Get an awesome recipe for the Pumpkin ice cream on Sweetest Occasion's blog. Those top two pictures? They're also from Sweetest Occasion. We really like what they've put together!

West Elm St. Louis

We got word a few months ago that a West Elm store was opening in St. Louis, and could hardly contain our excitement! So, imagine how we felt when we got an email from West Elm asking for our products for their store? Pretty great!

Cookies from Pint Sized Bakery

West Elm has partnered with Etsy to sell regional items in those stores. Visiting West Elm stores is a great way to shop for well designed susainable furniture, and is now also a great way to see items from local artists. What a great place! West Elm blogged about this venture here, with a great big feature showing Sucre Shop spoons! Hope you'll head over and support West Elm and local St. Louis makers.

Spoons vs Forks!

Which is best: spoons or forks? We've been having a heated debate at Sucre Shop over which utensil is king. Forks are pretty fly, obviously - but does that beat the stylishness of spoons? Which would YOU choose to use for apple pie a la mode? Vote below in the comments and help us heal our office rift ...

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!

June Parents Magazine Ice Cream Party

We're here, we're there, we're everywhere! Parents magazine used our scoops for toppings, ice cream spoons for kids, and full sized spoons for adults. What a party!

Summer Hostess Gifts

We all like to have one of two things on hand to bring over to a friend's house when we visit. So, we wemt ahead and put together a few ideas. Keep these things on hand and use them as needed!

Berry Baskets || Berry sweet ice cream spoons || Bon Maman mini jam

Diamond stirring spoons || Tazo teas  || Mason jars

Samples + Sneak Peeks

We play a lot with new designs, trying to think a little outside the box, and sometimes come up with some pretty cool designs! Not all of them go into production, but they are still fun to see! Here are a few of my faves:

Cross Stiched Forks, and a DIY plate

Playing with patterns!

Honey, I'm comb!

We'll keep trying to keep it new and fun for you!

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:

Download your PDFS files here: Mini-signs // Large sign // Gift tags

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!
