CREAM SHOP. I KNOW. I DO. WE ALL
KNOW IT CAN BE TOUGH JUST TO
PICK ONE FLAVOR. BUT THIS ICE
CREAM SHOP IN SHELBY TOWNSHIP IS
OPENING UP YOUR OPTIONS IN A
WHOLE NEW WAY. I’M SO EXCITED
ABOUT THIS.
>> THAT’S RIGHT. AND WE ARE

DESSERT BAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH

THIS SPREAD IS LOOKING THIS
BEAUTIFUL AND GORGEOUS AND
YOU’RE PROBABLY YOU’RE THE MOST
POPULAR PERSON IN HERE RIGHT
NOW. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT. ABSOLUTELY. SO THERE’S
SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT HOW
YOU GUYS DO ICE CREAM AND WE
HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT. WE HEARD
THAT. YOU DO. YOU KNOW, KIND OF
LIKE BEER FLIGHTS, BUT OBVIOUSLY
NOT BEER. IT’S ACTUALLY ICE
CREAM FLIGHTS. SO WALK US
THROUGH HOW YOU CREATE ONE OF
THESE. OKAY.
>> SO WE HAVE OUR OUR COLD
FLIGHT BOARD SHOT OF THIS
BECAUSE THIS IS THIS IS COOL.
AND MY SON MICHAEL MADE THESE
SHOUT OUT TO MICHAEL.

REWRITE THEM. VERY COOL. SO
HERE’S YOUR BOARD.

LIME PIE. THESE ARE SOME REALLY
CREATIVE FLAVORS.
>> YES.

OFF WITH SOME WHIPPED CREAM. OH,

>> IT’S LIKE. YES, PLEASE.
>> YES.
>> AND THEN WE USUALLY JUST PUT
SOME TOPPING THAT KIND OF GOES
ALONG WITH THE ICE CREAM. SO
BUMPY CAKE. WE’RE GOING TO JUST
PUT A NICE LITTLE CHOCOLATE
DRIZZLE ON THERE.
>> THIS LOOKS SO GOOD. SO GOOD
BECAUSE WE SAW HER DECORATING
SOME OF THE OTHER ONES EARLIER,
RIGHT BEFORE WE STARTED THE
SEGMENT. AND I WAS LIKE, HOW
COULD IT EVEN LOOK BETTER THAN
IT ALREADY LOOKS? THEN WHEN SHE
ADDS THE FINISHING TOUCHES,
RIGHT? BETH YES.
>> AND IT’S JUST THE WAY SHE’S
SO DELICATELY JUST PLACES IT
LIKE AN COOKIE MONSTER.
>> YOU GOT TO HAVE MORE COOKIES.
YOU DO? YES. YOU DO. THAT’S JUST
THE WAY IT IS.
>> YOU MAKE IT SO PRETTY FOR US
TO DEVOUR IT SO QUICK.
>> I KNOW.
>> BECAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU EAT
WITH YOUR EYES FIRST. SO WHEN
YOU SEE IT, YOU JUST WANT TO
GOBBLE IT UP. OH, SO GOOD. BUT
HOW DID YOU GUYS COME UP WITH
THIS CONCEPT, THOUGH?
>> WELL, WE. WE STARTED PIZZERIA
ACTUALLY. I LOVE TO COOK AND
BAKE, SO WE STARTED A PIZZERIA
ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, AND I’VE
ALWAYS MADE WHAT WE CALL DESSERT
OF THE WEEK. SO I’VE ALWAYS MADE
HOMEMADE DESSERTS IN THE
PIZZERIA. AND THEN THE ICE CREAM
SHOP BECAME AVAILABLE A COUPLE
DOORS DOWN AND WE THOUGHT, WHAT
A GREAT WAY TO TRANSITION IN AND
PUT SOME OF MY HOMEMADE DESSERTS
TOGETHER WITH SOME ICE CREAM
CREATIONS. AND WE MAKE THEM ALL
IN THE DIFFERENT BAR GLASSES,
THE MARGARITA GLASSES, MARTINI
GLASSES. SO IT GIVES IT A COOL
WAY TO EAT YOUR ICE CREAM AND
MAKES IT FANCY. AND THAT’S WHERE
WE CAME UP WITH MAMA’S DESSERT
BAR.

>> WE LOVE MAMA. IT SEEMS LIKE
YOU HAVE OPTIONS FOR EVERYONE.

THAT YOU HAVE?

OF DAIRY FREE CUSTOMERS AND WE
HAVE GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS. WE
HAVE NUT FREE OPTIONS, WE HAVE
LOTS OF TOPPINGS. THIS IS JUST A
SMALL SAMPLE OF ALL THE
DIFFERENT TOPPINGS WE HAVE TO

ABOUT THESE OTHER DESSERTS THAT
YOU HAVE OVER HERE. FIRST OF
ALL, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT
LIKE PUTTING THEM IN THESE
GLASSES OR CONTAINERS THAT ARE

DON’T YOU GUYS AGREE? BECAUSE IT
JUST TAKES IT UP A NOTCH. IT
MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE
FANCY. YEAH. ALL THE KIDS LOVE
IT WHEN THEY CAN COME IN AND GET
A FANCY GLASS LIKE MOM AND DAD,
