Our Ice Cream Story for InStyle Magazine

I hope you were all here this morning to see the behind-the-scenes with InStyle Magazine. If you didn't, you should definitely check it out here now! I worked with the editors to develop an ice cream story (including color story, recipe and flavor ideas, tips, products, concepts) and then propped and styled the whole story for the shoot. Be sure to check out our template for the ice cream shoot below. Here is the amazing story...













Here is the ice cream cone template. I hope you enjoy it!

*I'd like to dedicate this post to my dad, who would have been 72 today. A little over three years ago, he lost his battle with prostate cancer. My dad was my biggest "cheerleader" as he liked to call himself. Anyone who knew him, knew how proud he was of both myself and my brother. I like to think that he is still cheering us on from wherever he is. Somehow I know he is still watching over us and being a cheerleader today. Happy Birthday Dad. Love you and miss you. xoxo

Oh I am sure he is extremely proud of you Amy! God Bless to you both! Running a 5k in Philadelphia this Sunday for prostate cancer....I'll think of him while doing so....
The Instyle piece looks great...I just pitched someone to have creative icecream sandwiches in lieu of cake because the bday boy doesn't like cake....now I have this to back up my idea thanks!!

What a sweet thing to write about your Dad. I cherish my father and he is always here cheering me on, as well!

I have been in love with ice cream lately- it is super HOT on the West Coast! It was lovely to see your spread in the magazine on my doorstop last week and now online:) What a lovely way to celebrate summer.

Awesome, editorial coverage.
Can't wait to try a few of those recipes. Your birthday tribute to your father, really touched me. I recently lost my dad as well to cancer... he was always a lead supporter for me and my sister. Just know that he is definitely watching and has the biggest sweet tooth for you!
All the best.
Keep inspiring!

WOW, this shoot looks amazing. I am craving ice cream now! I can't wait to run out and grab a copy of the magazine.

Tres magnifique!!
I love the ice-cream on the slab bit

Please was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to prevent the ice cream from melting. I know I can use dry-ice but not sure how attractive that will look.

Thanks Amy
