The Coveted Milk Mustache Recipe
Following is the recipe to prepare the milk mustache mixture for the photo booth:

• Vanilla ice cream

-     Put ice cream in the fridge (not freezer) the night before the shoot and let it melt down overnight; pour into a jug

• Whole milk

Combine 2 cups of ice cream and 1 cup milk in a blender slowly until you get the desired consistency.  Each batch can be different.  It’s a trial-and-error endeavor.  Try whipping up a batch or two before the event to get the feel for the perfect mustache mixture.  It should be the consistency of melted ice cream.

Tip:  Whipped topping or yogurt also works well and can be added to the mixture for more thickness.

Tip:  In our experience, the whiter in color the ice cream, the better consistency you’ll get.

The Photo Stand
