Cotton Candy from our Electric Candy Machine
Cotton Candy was introduced to a wide American audience at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, under the name of Fairy Floss.
This Summer we are excited to bring you our very own Fairy Floss, at both Shane Confectionery & at the Summerfest Boat House! Our head confectioner is a variable Titania, spinning mouth-watering wisps of Fairy Floss in Lemon Raspberry, Lavender, Cinnamon, and the house favorite – Mint Chocolate Chip!
A Matcha Made in Heaven
Matcha is a form of finely ground green tea leaf, made to blend harmoniously with liquids. We mix it with fresh milk, white chocolate, and a touch of organic cane sugar to make our Iced White Chocolate Matcha, a perfect springtime concoction for sipping in the sunshine.

We salute our fathers & forefathers this summer
We’ve been reflecting on our naval neighbors, and each month this summer we will highlight a serviceman related to our crew.
While getting the SS Franklin Fountain in ship shape, we hired local artist Otis Gray. As he painted our ‘ship’, Otis told us about his grandfather Frank Gray. At 17, Gray lied about his age to get into the US Navy. When discovered to be underage he was put to work as a ship painter. Gray served in the Pacific, on the Myassis Dragon from 1943-1945. He eventually helmed both the Myassis Dragon & the USS LST-241 that deployed Marines onto the beach at Iwo Jima & Guam.

In 1944: A Jeep for three gallons of Ice Cream!
The crew of U.S. submarine took a jeep from a pier at Pearl Harbor, and after using it for a brief period, swapped it to the crew of a destroyer for three gallons of ice cream!
“Such a price for a prized possession shows how much service men like ice cream. Like the Marine who wrote from his jungle foxhole that he wanted ice cream three times a day every day after the war.”
