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!
