Rose Petal Ice Cream


Roses Roses Roses~

I want Rose petal ice cream
today~
This is a rose sculpture
ice cream cone!
(Scoop, what do you think of this rose?)


Yummmmmmy~~
There
is an ice cream shop
in Venice, California that makes
Rose Petal Ice cream!
I am going to take Lynn
here when she comes to
visit me this month~
We will get a rose ice cream cone
&
go to
one of our favorite shops
Bountiful
around the corner~

Rose petal ice cubes...
How Beautiful!
&
A Great idea for a wedding~


I can't do this post without
sharing & showing
you one of my favorite treats~
A Religieuse a' la Rose
from Laduree~
Here is my secret...
Take one to go...
Order tea for two
room service...
Always Earl Grey ...
shhhhhh....
Sometimes this is our dinner~

Last year in Paris
I found Rose Petal tea!
Pure roses!
It is heaven...
Clear hot rose water~

I also just discovered Rose Jam~
Noel brought me a jar~
I can't believe what I have
been missing out on!


There is nothing more
delicate than the flavor of Rose Jam
on a baguette~

My friend Corey from
Tongue & Cheek
makes her own
Rose Jam!
with real Rose petals~
See her recipe
Here~

These are a treat too!
You can buy sugar coated rose
petals to sweeten your tea
or for cooking~
Have a great week!

    After this post, my week will definitely consist of taking time to smell the roses and savor their delectable goodness too!

    STUNNING photos with clever future party ideas!

    As always, thank you Janet for my dose of loveliness.

    Did you write this post just for me??!!

    What absolutely gorgeous images....rose petal ice cream sounds absolutely amazing......I so want to try that!!

    I have had rose petal jam quite a few times - I rarely find it on sale so whenever I do I snap it up - Hediard in Paris sells a fabulous one as do Fortnum and Mason in London....I love everything about it :)

    Those rose petals ice cream are quite possibly the prettiest thing I have ever seen - what a lovely idea.

    I shall be thinking about this post, the ice cream and the jam all evening.....sweet dreams :)

    Happy Monday :)

    I always remember my first piece of Turkish Delight when we went to England but I think this may also be soemthing you love. A friend of mine does. I also mix a bit of rosewater into honey too.

    Hello Janet!
    This is such a beautiful post!!! Everything is just so beautiful! And I am with you, the rose religieuse is just amazing! I had tasted the jelly and some candy before, but seeing my husband's face when taking his first bite of the flavor of rose is something I will never forget! He was instantly in love!!
    Thank you for starting my day in such a wonderful way!!

    Honestly, there are no words for that rose petal ice cream cone. Does it make me an awful parent that I would NEVER have given a child something that beautiful??? What an incredible post my friend - you are truly gifted!

    Janet,
    All right that's it. My husband and I have to take a trip to California. Every time someone mentions a wonderful beautiful place to visit (besides in Paris, of course) it's in California!! I have never heard of rose petal ice cream, but should I be surprised? I mean ice cream and roses- two of a girl's favorite things in one! and rose jam??? I've got to start getting out more!
