SATURDAY — A SWEET DAY FOR MOM AT CLEMENTINE’S ICE CREAM
MAY 9, 10 AM TO NOON
This Mother’s Day weekend, Clementine’s Ice Cream is partnering with Picakesso STL to bring a hands-on, creative experience into three of their parlors. Join the fun on Saturday, May 9 from 10 am–12 pm at the Lake St. Louis, Town and Country, and Southampton locations for a morning that’s equal parts art studio and ice cream parlor.
Each ticket includes:
• A personal cake (vanilla cake with nutella filling) + decorating materials from Picakesso
• A scoop of Clementine’s Ice Cream (served in a cup)
• A bottled beverage of your choice
Guests will design and decorate their own mini cake using buttercream “paint,” then enjoy it alongside a scoop of ice cream. No experience is needed; just come ready to create something memorable with Mom! Each parlor has 16 seats available, so tickets are limited.
