Gelato Messina Is Teaming Up with Andy Bowdy and Big Gay Ice Cream for a Sold Out Dessert Evening

Good news and bad news, dessert lovers. The good news is that Gelato Messina, Andy Bowdy Pastry and New York ice cream kings Big Gay Ice Cream are teaming up for a night of sugary extravagance unlike anything you've ever seen. Dubbed Superbowl Sundae, the event will bring together some of the most delectable names in dessert for a two hour seminar and party. There'll be ice-cream, cakes and scintillating conversation, the latter presumably conducted in between mouthfuls of the former. Basically it's everything a card-carrying dessert addict could desire. The bad news? Tickets have already been well and truly gobbled up.

It's cruel really, announcing something this spectacular when there are only 40 places available. Guess they underestimated how much Sydneysider's love sugar. Anyone who did manage to nab themselves a ticket will get the chance to talk to (and be fed by) Messina head chef Donato Toce, pastry czar Andy Bowdy and Big Gay Ice Cream founders Bryan Petroff and Douglas Quint. The rest of us will have to make do with trawling the internet for pictures and dreaming about what could have been.
