A Sweet J.P. Licks Treat for Mom - Mother’s Day Cakes and New Flavors for May at J.P. Licks

USA (SANEPR.com) May 2, 2008 -- J.P. Licks, the homemade ice cream and coffee café with seven scoop shops in and around the Boston area, announces the availability of Mother’s Day cakes and a new line-up of flavors for the month of May.

Available at all J.P. Licks’ locations, J.P. Licks’ Mother’s Day cake is a vanilla ice cream cake with a decadent center of homemade hot fudge and topped with vanilla icing, flowers and a wish for a “Happy Mother’s Day”. All J.P. Licks’ cakes are hand packed which eliminates the air that is present in most ice cream cakes thereby creating a dense and absolutely delicious cake.

Pre-orders are recommended. Only a limited number will be in stock in all locations so be sure to order ahead via phone, online at jplicks.com or stop by one of J.P. Licks stores located at Coolidge Corner, Davis Square, Mission Hill, Newbury Street, Newton Centre, West Roxbury and Jamaica Plain.
