Jeni's Wedding Cake
Jeni's Ice Cream

Ice cream is synonymous with summer. So what better way to celebrate than with the return of one of Jeni's most magical flavors- Wedding Cake? My mouth is already watering! What's better than combining two deserts into one? That's right Wedding Cake is back for a limited time. And it's the perfect flavor for celebrating an engagement, anniversary or practicing some self-care. It's that last one for me.

Wedding Cake is available in all Jeni's scoop shops nationwide for Splendid Rewards members beginning 8/8. The flavor will be widely available online and in scoop shops for everyone starting 8/11—so save the date!

Wedding Cake is spongy vanilla cake with lemon, blackberries, and buttercream icing. And it's gluten-free! This rich ice cream features notes of vanilla and butter and a spoon-coating, icing-like texture. That's because there is cream cheese added to the ice cream. Also added to the treat are two sauces—bright lemon curd and brambleberry sauce. I think I'm in love!

The Best Cities To Get (And Stay!) Married In Are Not In North Carolina

The 2022 Wedding Season is in full swing. In fact, I just returned from one I was at this weekend. But as someone who seems to be perpetually single, I'm always looking for something to blame that on. And I found something. LawnStarter ranked 2022’s Best Cities to Get (and Stay) Married and North Carolina has none near the top. In fact, only one is in the Top 50 percent. The rest are all around the 100 mark in a ranking of 196 cities.

So if not NC where should you settle down for the best chance at a happily ever after? Hope you're ready to switch coasts for many of them. If you want to stay in the south Atlanta or Orlando will have to do.

But where did these rankings come from? LawnStarter "compared 190 of the biggest U.S. cities across nine key indicators of nuptial success — from current marriage rates to 5-year divorce rate comparisons to wedding-venue access."

Check out where each of the North Carolina cities ranked as well as the top 10 nationwide. No judgment from me if you choose to move since the best cities to get married in are not in North Carolina.
