The bakery said in a Facebook post that ice cream is defined as a soft frozen food made with sweetened and flavored milk fat.

"Growing up here in America, we all know ice cream is so much more than that," the bakery owners said. "Ice cream is an experience. It’s winning or losing the baseball game. It’s an affordable family outing after going weeks separated by the demands of living. It’s putting down our phones. It’s a hug after a hard day or a high five after overcoming challenges. Ice cream brings families together it makes the lonely feel less alone. There’s always a good reason for ice cream."
