`From Paper to Palate: How The Yard Milkshake Bar Turns Student Drawings into Delicious Milkshake Specials

Ever wondered how your creative milkshake ideas could become reality? At The Yard Milkshake Bar, the magic is happening as 8th-grade students from Lindale Middle School submit their imaginative milkshake drawings to The Yard Milkshake Bar for a chance to see their concoction come to life as a monthly special. The lucky winner not only gets their dream shake on the menu for the month of June but also receives two free milkshakes at a location of their choice. Stay tuned to discover the delightful process of turning student artwork into delectable milkshake specials right before your eyes!

Lindale Middle School: Where the Magic Begins

The journey starts at Lindale Middle School, nestled in the heart of the community, where creativity flows as freely as the syrup in our shakes. Here, 8th-grade students were given the unique task of designing their own milkshake, combining flavors, toppings, and names into a drawing that could become the next big hit. Art teacher Donna King reached out to us at The Yard Milkshake Bar after visiting this past summer and noticing customers could submit shake recipe ideas. She incorporated this challenge into their curriculum, fostering a blend of artistry and marketing savvy in their students. With guidance and encouragement, these young creators learn about flavor profiles and the elements of an appealing product presentation.

The Voting Process

Once the students' drawings were collected, the most exciting part began: turning these imaginative concepts into actual milkshakes. The process is meticulous; each element from the student's vision is considered, from the base flavor to the most whimsical topping. Our team at The Yard Milkshake Bar analyzes the drawings for feasibility, flavor combinations, and visual appeal. The submissions were then posted on an Instagram poll to determine the winner of the competition.

The Winner

Though The Yard Milkshake Bar had a spread of milkshakes to choose from, the votes are finally in and the public decided on one special milkshake to be added to the June monthly specials: The Holy Cannoli! Look out for this winning concoction to be made into monthly specials coming this June!

Indulging in Sweet Nostalgia: The Yard Milkshake Bar's September Pop-Tart Specials

As the leaves begin to change and the crisp autumn air settles in, we couldn't be more excited to share with you the latest irresistible offerings from The Yard Milkshake Bar. This September, we are taking your taste buds on a delightful trip down memory lane by incorporating everyone's favorite childhood treat - Pop-Tarts!

Frosted Cake Shake Boss: A Celebration in a Jar

To kick off this Pop-Tart extravaganza, we have the Frosted Cake Shake Boss. Imagine a concoction that combines the pure joy of a chocolate birthday cake with the creamy indulgence of ice cream – that's what you get with this masterpiece. The shake starts with a base of luscious Chocolate Birthday Cake ice cream, which is then drizzled with decadent chocolate and carefully placed into a vanilla iced jar coated with nonpareils sprinkles. But the celebration doesn't stop there.

Toppings upon toppings await, including a tantalizing cupcake that's almost too cute to eat. The soft, moist cake perfectly complements the rich ice cream. And of course, a Pop-Tart lover's dream wouldn't be complete without the addition of a Frosted Confetti Cupcake Pop-Tart, which adds a delightful crunch and a burst of confetti-colored happiness as well as a scoop of our Pop-Tart Cookie Dough. A dollop of whipped cream, another drizzle of chocolate, and a final sprinkle of nonpareils make this shake a true party in a jar.

Brown Sugar Blast: A Warm Embrace of Cinnamon Comfort

If you're more of a cinnamon fan, the Brown Sugar Blast is sure to win your heart. This creation starts with a foundation of Cinnamon Sugar ice cream with a luscious marshmallow drizzle. The combination is reminiscent of cozy autumn evenings by the fire, and it only gets better from there. The shake is carefully placed into a vanilla iced jar rolled in brown sugar.

Topping this masterpiece is a generous portion of whipped cream that's practically a cloud of sweetness. And, of course, we didn't forget the star of the show – a Brown Sugar Pop-Tart that's both nostalgic and utterly scrumptious. To finish off this delightful creation, a sprinkle of brown sugar on top adds the perfect touch of sweetness and texture.

Peanut Butter & Pop-Tarts: A Peanut Butter Lover's Dream

Last but definitely not least, let's talk about the Peanut Butter & Pop-Tarts creation. This one is a peanut butter lover's fantasy come true. Picture a harmony of Butter Crunch and Cookies N Cream ice cream with peanut butter drizzle. The shake is placed in a peanut butter iced jar and rolled in crushed Oreo cookies – a texture lover's paradise.

Towering over this concoction is a mountain of whipped cream, crowned by a Cookies & Cream Pop-Tart that's practically a work of art. The sweet, savory, and slightly nutty flavors come together in perfect harmony, and the crushed Oreo cookies on top add a satisfying crunch that's simply irresistible.

All of our specials can be customized as milkshakes, sundaes, or
bowls, allowing you to enjoy them just the way you like.

These specials aren't just desserts – they're experiences. Whether you're a fan of classic chocolate, warm cinnamon, or the creamy goodness of peanut butter, these Pop-Tart-inspired creations offer something for everyone. So, why not treat yourself this September? Head over to The Yard Milkshake Bar nearest you and let your taste buds embark on a journey through flavors that remind us of simpler times, all while indulging in the most delightful way possible.
