Phineas & Ferb claim that there are 104 days of summer vacation, we claim there are at least 104 ways to top an ice cream sundae! It’s National Ice Cream month, come celebrate with us!

During our, not 104 days, of summer vacation, we have a tradition called Frozen Fridays where we either make an ice cream creation at home or we visit a local ice cream shoppe to try out their wares. All around our town, these self-serve frozen yogurt shoppes have been popping up: Sweet CeCes, Menchies, and Pinkberry to name a few. The hallmark of these establishments are the variety of toppings that you can put on top of the frozen goodness.

So, the annual problem of our consideration is finding the good ways to eat it. (Hopefully you’re following along with the Phineas & Ferb theme there, otherwise, that made no sense at all.) I present to you my 104 ways to top an ice cream sundae, conveniently categorized!
