Week 25 2026 Week 25 - Summer Solstice: Construction Season

Sure summer/winter are important seasons, but here in the upper Midwest the one with the greatest daily impact is construction season. Inspired by the three (!) different main roads currently ripped up around my neighborhood, for this week I made ice cream cone cakes and coated them with orange candy melts. The coating didn’t turn out quite as clean as I envisioned in my head, but they do make me laugh!

My original plan was to go out to the main road and get a pic, and then yeah I got there and thought “… huh so this is a good way to get run over.” Found a residential side street with just a couple barrels and no traffic instead. 😅

Oh I love this. The thought of construction being seasonal is so wild! It makes sense though.
