Cold Stone Creamery

We ordered an ice cream cake a week in advance for my daughter and 2 days prior to me picking up the cake they informed me that they misplaced what I ordered. We also were disappointed that their website said they do theme birthday cakes and when we went to the store they told us they didn’t do theme cakes anymore. Overall the cake was decent. If you really want an ice cream birthday cake it is better if you go to Dairy Queen. They also forgot to put the sprinkles on top of the Kit-​Kat Bars.:(

I have five words for you. Apple. Pie. A. La. Mode!!!
During the week, I try to eat healthy… but that’s only so I feel less guilty when I splurge on the weekends. And I think eating a sizable serving of apple pie a la mode ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery while strolling around the Discover Mills Mall definitely qualifies.
My boyfriend and I were there on a rainy, muggy Sunday since the mall’s only a hop skip and a jump from his home. We ended up getting a bunch of new polo shirts for him for some great prices (thank you Old Navy and Tommy Hilfiger), and while we were there we passed Cold Stone Creamery, to which he instantly asked me if I’d ever tried that flavor mash up.
Reacting with mock horror when I said I had not, I found myself being pulled in to Cold Stone (I’ll admit resistance to this move was minimal), and a medium serving (which turns out to be very generous) of apple a al mode was promptly ordered.
I watched the girl behind the counter scoop a giant portion of vanilla ice cream then proceed to expertly smush in apple pie filling, graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon and caramel. And you know what? That thing really tasted like apple pie in ice cream form! Amazing!
We had no trouble finishing off that bowl of deliciousness as we continued our stroll around the mall, and I have no doubt that his claims of being able to easily finish off a quart to go in no time at all are true. That stuff is highly addictive.
I’m a huge fan of the self-​serve froyo places, but Cold Stone is offering up some solid competition if all of its offerings are this good.
