Now that I finally have my kitchen aid, I am convinced that the next appliance will either be the pasta maker or the icecream maker.. Summer is past now, so does it make sense to go for the icecream maker first? Probably not, but yesterday I got serious icecream making urges… 
I was giving a photography workshop to Caroline from Ijssalon de Hoop, in Blaricum en Evelien, who makes gorgeous weddingcakes from Boketor, also in Blaricum. Two lovely ladies who wanted to have some more insights in how they could produce good photographs of their products. Evelien brought a beautiful three layer black cake (see below) and Caroline brought delicious icecream. It’s just not any icecream, as they have been voted best Icecream parlor of 2009. I can still remember when I was a kid; every sunday or almost every sunday we would nag our parents endlessly because we wanted to get an icecream from The Hoop…. Quite famous in our area! So if you’re ever in the neighbourhood you should definitely pay them a visit.
Where did the icecream go?
It was a fun day yesterday, although the extra difficulties with icecream melting is always a challenge! I didn’t take a lot of photos and the above one is just a quick snap… But I just loved those drips coming down the side!
Ofcourse, since the icecream melted we had to eat it at some point… It would be a waste to throw it away don’t you think??
But all that icecream made me want to have my icecream maker sort of right now… Then again I do think it makes for a perfect christmas present (hint, hint honey…) so maybe I should just be patient a little bit longer!

Woow what lovely clicks.. I was just hopping from page to page , just admiring your clicks..Simply Gr8!!
Simone I always say I have no sweet tooth, but I think I have a “dairy” tooth. I LOVE icecream. How much is that kitchen Aid attachment for ice cream. I think I might buy a separate ice cream maker. We have a cuisinart that was $60 and I love it. I might go for the pasta maker. Especially since lasagna is on the december schedule. (head’s up).
I forgot to say how beautiful that ice cream picture is. Makes me want to dive right in.
I have an ice-cream maker on my list too!!!! Lovely photos Simone!!!
My parents gave me their ice cream maker because they never use it and I just went ice-cream-crazy with it. It is such a thrill making your own, so I can see why you want one so much.
Love that photo with all the melting drips. Makes me wish for summer!
Definitely go for the icecream maker! Pasta is easier to make by hand =D.
I have both a pasta and an ice cream maker, and have been enjoying both a lot! You can buy a pasta and an ice cream attachment for your kitchen aid instead of buying a new appliance. You can find good deals on these on ebay.
Do you have the one for the kitchen aid? I just heard yesterday that it is not the best icecreammaker?
Simone, I just discovered your blog via the Daring Cooks forum… your photos are amazing. I’ll be stopping by very often! Tot ziens!
Get the ice-cream maker! It’s soooo worth it! Never mind winter:)
I’ve been wanting an ice cream maker too! I’m worried about what it will do to my waistline!
What a delicious photo! I don’t have an ice cream maker because I don’t have the space for one more appliance in my tiny kitchen. I do daydream about it often!
I just had dessert, but still want a bite of this! I really want an ice cream maker too.. it’s next on my to-buy list
Wow! That photo on the top is just so tempting!
Ah, such an amazing shot!! Your photography never fails to impress and inspire.
