Before we reveal the grand post, we would just like to apologise for the delayed release of our day we had on Friday. We have been waiting for the proper photos to be sent over to us to be able to make a better reel/post about our day but unfortunately they havenโt been sent over yet, so we are gunna have to make do with our own few snaps๐ธwe managed to get, so expect plenty more PROPER GOOD photos and another post because it was just โจ ๐๐ฝ๐ ๐ท๐๐๐โจ day weโve had in a long time and will deserve its own second post!๐ค๐ผ๐ธ
Anywayyyyy,
On Friday, we as a family headed over to Antonelli Gelato Academy in Manchester to carry out and complete our โSo you want to make ice cream?โ training course๐ค๐ฆWe can NOT begin to express how fun and exciting it was, it truly was the reality pinch of โOmg we will be doing this ourselves for real in a few weeks time!โ ๐คช๐ฅณ๐ and then we thoughtโฆโomg we will be doing this on our own in a few weeksโ๐ณ๐ฑ๐
Jokes aside, it was a very informative educational day out and was the โlast stepโ we had to take in order to be successful at opening an ice cream shop. Now that we have been and got the badge, the next stop will actually be the ๐ฆ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ of our new parlour.
We took 40L of our own milk from our home girls๐ฎ๐and that gave us approximately 65kg of Ice cream! One thing we did learn is that a little milk can go a longggg way. Just imagine if we milked 100 cows??๐ณ Out of this volume we made these 12 flavours:
๐Lemon drizzle meringue
๐ฉทRaspberry Ripple (OG)
๐ฆFirecracker Vanilla (OG - with a personal touch/twist)
๐ฐKinder Bueno
๐ซChocolate Fudge brownie (OG)
๐Banana sorbet
๐Strawberry biscuit shortcake
๐ฎSalted caramel
๐ฅญMango + passionfruit
๐Mint choc chip/Aero (OG)
๐ตMatcha + White chocolate๐ค
๐ฅPistachio
These flavours we chose were for experimental reasons Ie- for the nuts and allergy reasons, sorbets not crossing with dairy milk etc. We selected a variety of flavours that will be our 4 main staples, how to manage and make allergen flavours and a few more creative combinations๐Donโt worry if your fave flavour isnโt on this list! This wonโt be our set menu when we open (some may be!) We will have different flavours to make and offer and we will rotate flavours based on popularity and what our customers request! We already know we have Rum+Raison lovers, for example (you know who you are๐).
So, we will leave this here for you to get excited about๐๐ฆWe will take as much inspo as possible regarding flavours. You know we are getting nearer and nearer and hopefully you can see after reading this post we are extremely close! ๐ค๐ซถ As always we will continue with our weekly Ice Creamery updates (but expect there wonโt be many weeks left!!) in the meantime and drop your favourite flavours, combinations, toppings, additional etc etc in the comments below. Now is the perfect time for us to be purchasing all the goodies ready for the launch!
That will be the next thing to watch out forโฆour ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐จ๐ต๐ซ ๐ถ๐ท๐ฌ๐ต๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ ๐พ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ต๐ซ๐ this month where samples of flavours will be available to try. And of course our version of doggy ice cream for the main guys and girlies๐ถ๐พ๐ฉท๐ฉต
๐ฝ๐โ ๐ฝ๐ธโ๐: We actually attended and did this course about 3/4 years ago when we had the very first๐กidea๐ก of making ice cream ourselves. This is how long this vision has been in the works. We didnโt give up and now here we are writing this postโค๏ธ
With much love and gratitude,
