Gelato Messina and Andy Bowdy Are Creating Soft Serve Sundaes
But only for a limited time.
Remember how excited we all got when we found out Vin Diesel and The Rock were going to be teaming up in the Fast and Furious movies? Well this story is exactly like that, only for ice-cream. Two of Sydney's dessert heavyweights, pastry chef Andy Bowdy and ice-cream kings Gelato Messina, are joining forces on a limited edition range of soft-serve sundaes. And guess what? They go on sale today.
Assuming you're still reading this rather than sprinting out the door (congratulations on your restraint, by the way), here's the nitty gritty on this sugar-coma-inducing collaboration. Bowdy, the former dessert chef at Hartsyard and the creator of some of the most ludicrous, mouth-watering cakes this side of a French royal wedding, has designed two flavours of soft serve that will be 'on tap' at the Messina Dessert Bar in Darlinghurst. He's also created a pair of cone and cup varieties, ensuring you'll have plenty of tooth-decaying goodness to choose from.
No word yet on what exactly the flavours will be; the last time Bowdy operated a soft serve machine he ended up combining cheesecake soft serve, apple pie filling, donut and peanut crumble, and salted bourbon caramel, so it's safe to assume that whatever he creates for Messina, it'll probably be insane.
A team-up between these two has been on the cards for a while now it would seem, with Bowdy currently operating his online cake business out of a Gelato Messina production space. Honestly though, who cares how or why it's happening? The point is, it is, and it's amazing. Now get going. That soft serve isn't going to scoff itself.
