Growing up in Iowa, I joined 4-H when I was in elementary school after a not-so-enthusiastic endeavor into Brownies & Girl Scouts. 4-H was more my speed as it allowed me to pursue my individual interests (such as baking, photography and raising rabbits). The program helped give me a good foundation on how to set goals for myself and create plans to achieve them as well as learning how to give presentations to a group. Now what does this have to do with cupcakes & ice cream, you ask? Well…
I heard a radio ad the other day for Blue Bell’s Centennial Cupcake Ice Cream that featured 4-H on the carton as well as little green candy clovers in the ice cream itself. I have to admit, my ears would have perked up at the notion of Cupcake Ice Cream, but toss in the 4-H aspect and now you’ve got my head justifying the purchase as a nostalgic endeavor. Thankfully Blue Bell Ice Cream is sold in Arizona – now I just need to go hunt down a carton!
I’ve never heard of this – but yum cupcake ice cream sounds really good today .. it’s that kind of weather here on the East coast.
