Maplewood ice cream shop opens

Maplewood has a new ice cream shop, I Scream Cakes, at 7326B Manchester. It’s between Reeds American Table and J&E Office City. The ice cream is handmade at the original I Scream Cakes, on Cherokee Street in south St. Louis city, by owner Kerry Soraci.

Soraci describes her business as a micro-creamery. “We use organic dairy, sugar and eggs. The nice thing about doing it completely from scratch, we can control all the ingredients. I don’t have be dictated by what has been given to me from a prepackaged bag of stuff,” she told 40 South in November 2015 when she let the plan out.

Mike McLaughlin, owner of The Crow’s Nest (7336 Manchester Road) is a partner in the ice cream shop. McLaughlin said they kept the prices as low as they could, considering the ice cream is all handmade.
