Ice Cream Making
Overview
Ice Ice Baby...
This event is a real scoop! Have a go at making some delicious ice creams in this chilled out, yet competitive team building activity…
A culinary challenge perfect for those wanting an event which is fun and light-heartedly competitive, not to mention completely scrummy.
Your team are the proud new owners of an ice cream parlour. It’s up to you to conceive and create a range of ices, sorbets and gelatos for your shop. You’ll need to create a brand for your parlour; a name, logo and product range all distinctive to you.
Will your enterprise join the greats with Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Dazs, or end up left at the back of the freezer…?

About
More Details
Create your ice cream brand, name and logo – cue some icy innuendo and company in-jokes… before conceiving a range of flavour mixtures. Will you go for boring old vanilla or something a little more exotic?
Teams will have a huge selection of toppings, fruit purees, flavourings, sundae glasses and ingredients to choose from. You’ll even be able to bake your own cones! Finally teams will have to present their brand and products which are judged on taste, texture, innovation, presentation and branding.
Our impressive Ice Cream Making set up is completely mobile so we can transform any space into a pop-up ice cream parlour. We can even offer your own company branded aprons and chef's hats.
