Imagine a place where learning is as cool as your favorite scoop of ice cream. Ice Cream School – is a unique initiative that brought together a group of girls aged 12 to 16 for a six-week intensive course in all things ice cream.
In partnership with Kickback, Ruru Baked, and Patchwork, this program aimed to teach young entrepreneurs the ins and outs of ice cream production while fostering creativity and teamwork.
But beyond the delicious final product, Ice Cream School represented something bigger – an opportunity for the girls to pursue their passions and explore non-traditional career paths in a fun and engaging way. By providing hands-on experience and mentorship in a field they love, programs like Ice Cream School empower young minds to dream big and turn their passion into a profession.
We are beyond thankful to Kickback and Ruru Baked for inviting us to be a part of this beautiful experience!
So, what exactly went down at Ice Cream School? Picture this: tons of ice cream, bunch of mix-ins, drawings, laughs, - oh, and a ton of taste tests. When we weren't sampling, we delved into the science behind ice cream and the art of churning the perfect batch. Under the guidance of Luanne, owner and creator of Ruru Baked, the students explored every step of the ice cream-making process.
And the result of their hard work? A deliciously crafted masterpiece dubbed "FUNDERLAND" – a one-of-a-kind flavour inspired by the students' favourite treat, funnel cake at their favourite place, Wonderland. Reflecting the creativity and imagination of its creators, FUNDERLAND was a success at our sale where the kids scooped and served their customers!
