November 11 National Sundae Day #NationalSundaeDay

Life is funny it’s been a while since I’ve talked to my sister Debbie but this morning she texted me to let me know she had a free Sundae at QT through there App. She asked if I wanted to go with her to get the Sundae which I couldn’t do.

Then I went to work and I found out November 11th is National Sundae Day #NationalSundaeDay. I can’t wait for David to come home to see if he has the App on his phone so we can go and get a Sundae together then we can celebrate National Sundae Day. Would you like to come with us?

National Sundae Day falls on November 11th and we all know desserts don’t get much more decadent than Marshmallow, Chocolate, or Strawberry Sundaes so let’s enjoy every minute of National Sundae Day. To celebrate National Sundae Day you can visit a local Ice Cream Shop or simply whip one up a Sundae at home.

The question of the day should be who invented the Ice Cream Sundae? Which is a good question. Many claim credit but I thought I would share a quick glance at a trio of theories ranked from earliest to most recent.:

1. Sundaes first appeared around 1881 in the town of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, when a man named George Hallauer asked his friend Edward C. Berner, the owner of a Soda Fountain, topped a dish of Ice Cream with Chocolate Sauce modeled after Ice Cream Sodas. The magnificent creation only cost a nickel and skyrocketed in popularity, but was sold only on Sundays.

2. A Plainfield, Illinois, druggist named Mr. Sonntag created the Sundae in 1890 after customers requested something different. He named it the “Sonntag” after himself, and since Sonntag means Sunday in German, the name was translated to Sunday, and later was spelled Sundae.

3. John M. Scott, a Minister, and Chester Platt, co-owner of a pharmacy, created the first Sundae on April 3rd, 1892 (a Sunday), in Ithaca, New York, Platt covered dishes of Ice Cream with Cherry Syrup and Candied Cherries. The men named the dish “Cherry Sunday.”. Historians found a newspaper ad for a “Cherry Sunday” placed in the Ithaca Daily Journal three days later. By May 1892, the Platt & Colt Soda Fountain also served “Strawberry Sundays,” and later, “Chocolate Sun

For sundaes, it’s the building and layering, not the cooking, that counts. These sweet treats require minimal effort with delectable reward: you just need your favorite Ice Cream, your favorite toppings, a bowl, and an Ice Cream Scooper.
