Our retro Daddy + Daughter Sock Hop is a nod to a simpler time where soda shops were the place to hang out and have fun with friends. We wanted to incorporate that old fashioned concept into our party with Coke Float Cupcakes. These fizzy cupcakes, topped with vanilla ice cream and accented with striped paper straws and a gumball cherry on top are sure to be a hit at the party!
