Treasure Chest Sundae

We kicked off this event with the Treasure Chest Sundae, a treasure box with a scoop of circus ice cream, hot fudge, gummy bears, sprinkles, whipped cream & a cherry on top. Then we moved on to one of their best-sellers, the Cookiewich, a scoop of homemade ice cream sandwiched between 2 freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. As you can see, this cookiewich was stuffed with chocolate Oreo cheesecake ice cream. So. Incredibly. Good.

The Sandcastle Sundae is the perfect treat for a party of little ones. A real beach sand pail and shovel is filled with 5 scoops of ice cream, hot fudge, caramel, wet walnuts, any 2 dry toppings and a chocolate chip cookie on the bottom with lots of whipped cream and cherries.

The real treat for grown up Instagrammers was the Flower Child Sundae, a real flower pot planted with 3 scoops of ice cream, hot fudge, marshmallow & whipped cream – all buried under fresh Oreo soil. This bad boy was shot until it melted completely and was the star of the day!

If you’re ever in Santa Monica and need to chill out, be sure to pop into Sloan’s! There’s seating near the main shop, or you can go upstairs like we did to take images with their beautiful wall of succulent plants.

  • Thank you so much to All Points PR and Sloan’s Ice Cream for inviting us in! Although this tasting was comped by Sloan’s Ice Cream, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Julianne

Actress and Founder of Girls on Food: I was born and raised in the suburbs of Sacramento, California. I grew up a typical “McDonald’s kid”. I was very picky about what I ate and refused to try new foods. No fun, I know. My Mom started taking me on trips to Europe when I was a teenager and that’s when my palate for finer foods began to develop. Some of my most memorable favorite meals include Veal Bolognese in Rome, Gyros in Athens, Paella in Lisbon and Duck L’Orange in Paris. While this helped me grow out of a fast food phase, I still eat out quite a bit. I know I should be at home cooking, but I love dining out. I started working in restaurants in various front of the house positions at age 15. Since my start, I’ve worked in every casual restaurant setting you can think of: a teriyaki stand, brewery, sushi nightclub, trendy Mexican, family-style Italian, American diner, pizza parlor and even a BLT themed food truck. I can't help but notice that many of the LA food bloggers don't have any sort of background working in a restaurant. A lot of my perspective on food and dining out comes from my years of experience in the biz. Since starting this blog, I have shot appearances on a couple of cooking competition shows as a taster (including MasterChef Junior and another upcoming show). We have also started producing a Youtube Channel. IMDb page here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2023647/ For this site I contribute content from all over Los Angeles (and the world) to showcase my favorite fine-dining spots, steakhouses, exclusive supper clubs, Hollywood nightlife and our very own #GOFx events, which I plan and coordinate.
