Strawberry and Meringue Coconut Ice Cream

I love ice cream, especially on a nice hot day however it probably isn't the best thing for my diet. However I think I may have found a healthier alternative.

Ice Cream Bread Recipe

So it may be Summer right now but the weather is so changeable that it doesn't always seem appropriate to be eating a freezing cold ice cream.

However this doesn't stop the kids from asking for them.

There isn't really a good substitute for ice cream so the next best thing, ice cream bread.

Now I know you're all thinking I'm mad right now but it really works and the best thing, you only need two ingredients.

Making Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes with Cake Angels

A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to be sent a package full of baking goodies from Cake Angels. The girls and I love to make cakes together so when we were asked if we would like to try out their Ice Cream Cone Cupcake kit, I immediately said yes.

To our surprise when the parcel arrived, we didn't just receive the cupcake kit, oh no, there were lots of sprinkles, icing and royal icing decorations to help us get creative.

Melting Away

Sadly the kids are now back at school but before they put on those uniforms and carried their new school bags, we managed to enjoy one last day in the sun on Wednesday.

I can't believe just how nice the weather has stayed, you wouldn't think it was September already.

So what to do with their last day of freedom, lots of pennies had already been spent, think the bank of mum and dad is now closed for a while, so we wanted to do something that was cheap as chips.

We decided to make the most of that lovely beach we live by and have an ice cream whilst enjoying the view.

The only problem we had was that the sun was so hot, the ice creams were melting rapidly, I think the girls ended up wearing more than they ate. All good fun, oh and an added bonus, Nannie paid for the ice creams!!!

So what did you do on the last day of the Summer holidays, do you miss them already??
