Ten Things
So, we're now less than two months away from The Creamery's first birthday, and it's making me reflect on our first year in business. Now, there's generally very little time…

The best laid plans of bloggers... today we've got a fortnight in photos, not a week in photos, but all the more behind the scenes shenanigans to share with you.…
We've been back one month now from our first-ever two week annual shutdown. Did you miss us? We missed you, and The Creamery. All our staff (and several of our…
Two weeks ago, Oded Schwartz passed away after a long battle with cancer. He was the co-owner of Oded's Kitchen in Woodstock, one of our favourite fellow food businesses in…
OK, we're trying something new; an informal, behind-the-scenes glance at life at Creamery HQ, as frequently as we can manage it. Some of it has to do with ice cream,…
We're enjoying a lot of different kinds of citrus at the moment, mainly from Kleinjongenskraal in (aptly named) Citrusdal. We're learning the difference between mandarins and clementines and meeting entirely…
On our first day back from our winter holiday, we eased into work mode with a birthday lunch for Abi. She turned 21 in early July, while we were all…
I tend to dismiss the occasional comment people make about it being too cold to eat ice cream in winter, but it's been a harder claim to make as this…
After dealing with several unexpected and deeply undesired shutdowns earlier this year, it feels funny winding down into our first-ever planned shutdown. We're taking two weeks off, so all our…
An Ice Cream Club member asked me last month in an email if we would consider replacing our plastic pint containers with cardboard containers, like they use in the USA.…

There's so much to see and do in the Winelands, but top of my list is always a visit to the magical vegetable gardens at Babylonstoren. We snuck into their…
I know we're not supposed to have favourites, but one of the loveliest markets we sell at each week is the Urban Farmers Market at Starlings Cafe in Claremont. It's…
We've been developing a chewy almond cookie, loosely based on macarons, for our ice cream sandwiches. So far our cookies are good, but not great. So who better to go…
Here's a sneak peek at the adorableness coming your way tomorrow. Seriously. LOVE.
Here's some pics of our ice cream sandwiches that we made yesterday, and tasted this morning. We argued a lot over which one tasted best, but the top four winners…
One part of our selling-ice-cream-in-winter strategy is ice cream sundaes. We want to start offering two sundaes at our Neighbourgoods Market stall, changing our offerings each week. So for the…
Ice cream sandwiches are not particularly common in South Africa, but Americans will know what I'm talking about: a scoop of ice cream, sandwiched between two cookies or brownies. It…
One of the questions we get asked all the time is, how many flavours do you make? People are always amazed that we don't have a definitive flavour list or…
We have a list on the wall in the kitchen, where we put down things for which we want to develop recipes. Sometimes it's ice cream flavours, but often it's…
