Another super DinnerSmith discovery-Vanilla Bean Creamery

Here at DinnerSmith, we get to see a lot of great food because we spend our day immersed in bringing the best to our customers. Sharon Grey, our partner, has been managing an ice cream store in Cranford, the Vanilla Bean Creamery. They make their own ice cream on premise and also at their sister store in Springfield, Scoops and Scripts (246 Mountain Ave. near Bagel Chateau). There is a whole list of sundues which I am working my way thru. I say just start at the top. The strawberry and chocolate sundae was fabulous. Just the right size and a great price. They have a ton of special flavors: Death by Chocolate has bits and pieces of crunchies and chips in deep chocolate ice cream. Devil Dog has real Devil Dogs mixed in the ice cream. This is a full service store: they have sherbert and ices and suger free and forzen yogurt. So what else can I tell you.................

The really big deal is the ice cream cake, the Vanilla Bean Creamery Signature Cake. Layer of cake and homemade ice cream surrounded by frosting. I took two to my sisters Wild Game Dinner because this special occassion deserved a special ending. I had one midnight madness Choclate and one Praline. Now this is not the official description, but comes from delicious memory. The cholcolate cake had layers of chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream and some fillings iced with white frosting topped with a hard chocolate piece decorated with chocolate iceing. The praline cake had similiar layers of cake with praline ice cream. There was pieces of praline all over this cake. The flavors were so sweet and light. The crowd at the party went crazy. They got past the 'I will have a little taste' stage very quickly. I could not cut slices fast enough. From small children to my own parents, these cakes were a huge hit. If you are having a dinner or event where there will be dessert, this is the cake that will impress, both in its presentation and its taste.

Call them , Have them reserve one for you.
