Baked Alaska

I found this "mouth-watering" image of baked Alaska while searching for delicious recipes. We are hard at work creating baked Alaska for one of our wholesale restaurants.

Just thinking about the different flavors of gelato and handmade cake recipes we will combine makes me full of excitement and anticipation.

Delicious!!!!

Indian Wedding - Gelato Cart

A couple of months ago, we catered our first Indian wedding. It was a blast!

Over 300 guests were served gelato in 30 minutes; therefore, the photographer did not have time to capture the serving of the gelato. Unfortunate, but I was still able to obtain some images of the beautiful bride.

This was an Andre Winfrye Event. Click here for more images.

New Flavor: Banana Fosters

As a small artisan gelato shop, we don't have a team of scientists on staff to test millions of different ingredient combinations. Our creative customers and talented employees never cease to recommend amazing flavors.

Our banana foster gelato is courtesy of my mother-in-law. She was visiting in January and wanted something sweet. We only had bananas, leftover vanilla bean gelato and cinnamon so I decided to make banana foster with vanilla gelato. Before she ate a bite, she reminded me that she is not a fan of bananas. After her last bite, I reminded her that gelato makes everything taste so much better. At that moment, a new dreamy gelato flavor was created.

Our banana fosters gelato has been a hit in the store. It is super delicious with the dark chocolate gelato.

February Offer - Delicious Hot Chocolate

I love hot chocolate made with pure molten chocolate and milk. It is simple, yet delicious! No added sugar and no powdered mixes. I had my first hot chocolate this way in Ireland and just fell in love.

To celebrate all things hot chocolate, in February, when our customers purchase a small (one flavor) cup of gelato or larger, a small hot drink will be offered at 50% Off.

Perfect For Any Event - Prepackaged Gelato

For over a year, we have had customers request that we offer our gelato prepackaged for events. We struggled with the decision because we wanted to make sure that offering our gelato in a prepackaged container would not affect the quality our customers expected from our gelato.

After a year of consideration, we are so excited to offer our delicious, artisan gelato prepackaged for events.

We wanted to keep our packaging simple because the gelato deserves all the attention. The clear top is perfect for admiring the gelato before consumption.

Our prepackaged gelato is perfect for large and small events.

Indian Wedding & Reception

The end of last year, we had the opportunity to cater gelato for the very first time at an Indian reception. We were a little nervous, but very excited. I must admit that the event exceeded my expectations. It was so much fun!

We served several traditional flavors like pistachio gelato and mango sorbet. In addition, we served some unique flavors like sweet cheese gelato and burnt caramel pecan gelato. The guests were full of energy and passion. We served over 300 guests in 30 minutes. I have never moved so fast!

I wish I took some pictures, but once we finish setting up, we were serving gelato. I spoke with the photographer who confirmed that she too was unable to take pictures of the gelato. I promise to take pictures next time and share them on our blog.

We are excited to celebrate the New Year and look forward to a busy 2011. What to expect in 2011 from Dreamy Gelato & Chocolates:
