HOUSTON - Katie Stone joins restaurateur Ben Berg at Buttermilk Baby for it’s first birthday celebration.
Starting at 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 13, plan on an afternoon of giveaways and family fun. Kids will enjoy a coloring station, face painting, and balloon twister plus a special appearance by Fudgie the Whale. Guests will also enjoy complimentary ice cream cake samples (while supplies last).
From burgers and biscuits to sprinkles and sundaes, Ben highlights menu items for Katie.
The ice cream at Buttermilk Baby is the only place in Texas you can find Carvel soft serve.
Buttermilk Baby marks Carvel’s first collaboration with a restaurant in its 90-year history. Diners will find around 10 Carvel soft-serve ice cream flavors on Buttermilk’s menu, complete with customizable toppings, milkshakes, and adults-only boozy shakes.
Buttermilk Baby also offers Carvel’s signature ice cream sandwiches – the Flying Saucers and cakes, including one shaped like its mascot Fudgie the Whale.
The Game Ball cake is layers of vanilla and chocolate ice cream, separated by a layer of chocolate crunchies, then topped with chocolate crunchies, and whipped topping.
Be sure to try the limited-time Birthday Cake Shake, with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles and topped with a keepsake party blower.
Buttermilk Baby is located at 600 N. Shepherd Drive (713-840-1555) and is open:
Sunday: 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.
Monday - Thursday: 11 a.m. - 9 p.m.
