We had our first summer party this week and I wanted to serve a cold treat that everyone would enjoy. We looked into renting ice cream carts but they were crazy expensive. So we decided to make one ourselves and pull it behind the bike. It was a hit! The project was surprisingly simple and everyone had a blast being served as the bike cycled by them. We stashed a cooler inside the cart to keep the treats cold and had a proper scooper (aka sandal wearing husband) to be sure everyone had festive service.

To make the ice cream bike cart, we first made a simple box of wood cut from at The Home Depot (thanks husband!). We decided on exact measurements before we went and had a $10 plank of wood cut down for free. After it was attached together, I covered the box in a paper confetti tablecloth and we used our wagon wheels to pull it behind the bike. The cart made a huge festive impact for very little effort. And that is what summer is really about… work a little, and produce a whole lot of fun!
