The Cherry Ice Pop ornaments was chosen one of the 10 best ornaments on ornaments.com for June, 2011.
Was invented by an 11 year old named Frank Epperson in 1905 and were originally called Epsicles. He didn’t apply for a patent until 1923, it was granted in 1924. His kids would ask for pop’s “sicles.” The name then became popsicles.
Could popsicles finally be the food trend that pushes cupcakes off their throne? They have all the right ingredients: A childhood favorite? Check. Reinvented for grown-up tastes? Check. (Think strawberry-balsamic instead of strawberries and cream.) Portion control? Check. Popsicles even have one thing cupcakes don't: They're a sure way to beat the monstrous heat.
They're everywhere. There is La Newyorkina and People's Pops in New York; Meltdown Popsicles in New Orleans; and Sol Pops, with flavors such as sugar snap pea with orange, in Portland, OR. In the Washington area, the Dairy Godmother in Del Ray is turning out dozens of seasonal flavors such as apricot-saffron-pistachio, damson plum with toasted almond, and sour cherry with cardamom. Pleasant Pops, a start-up that sells at the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market on Saturdays, is building a portfolio that already includes peach-ginger and watermelon-cucumber. Bartenders are adding versions to their summer menus. You'll find boozy pops at Potenza and Cafe Saint-Ex and at Restaurant Eve, where Todd Thrasher offers an elaborate layered bomb pop with cranberry cosmopolitan, tum yummy (coconut, ginger, lemon grass and ginger liqueur) and blackberry rickey.
