Ice Cream Clown Sundaes for Colin

We aren't really cake people.

Between Colin's egg allergy and Ellie's general anti-cake-or-cupcake sentiment, I've found that it is easier to stick to ice cream for birthday celebrations.

For Ellie's birthday last April, we made ice cream flower pots (complete with hidden gummy worms) and those were a big hit.

For Colin's recent birthday celebration, my clever and talented sister-in-law Bethany created these ice cream clowns. We dipped the rims of plain ol' sugar cones in melted chocolate and then covered them in sprinkles. Bethany piped frosting up and down the "hats" to create the most adorable puffs. We used chocolate chips for the eyes, a red M&M for the nose and a piece of Twizzler for the mouth.

Viola. Tasty and fun.
