The Creamery moves to a new home
Opening our Newlands Café in September last year brought many changes to The Creamery – the most notable being that we changed our business from being a very seasonal…
The Creamery- Is our ice cream halaal?
As an independent food business, we are often asked questions about our ice cream – especially about who makes it, what’s in it, and where these ingredients come from. We…
Masterchef SA
So.... Masterchef. We got a call the week after New Year's, from Masterchef SA's culinary producer. He explained that they were looking for the nation's best artisanal ice cream producer…
Quince
They dined on mince And slices of quince Which they ate with a runcible spoon And hand in hand On the edge of the sand They danced by the light…
Summer, Reviewed
Soooo.... summerrrrr. I feel like we can talk about summer in the past tense now, since a) all our weddings/festivals ended last week, and b) even as a winter-denialist,…

Katawba Grapes
We really like collaborating with other businesses and organisations, so I'm really happy to be making Katawba grape ice cream with grapes grown by Soil for Life. They offer courses…

Winter Shut Down 2012
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…
Sundae Any Day
I've never really liked ice cream sundaes. Aside from the sheer size of the monsters, too often the ice cream is smothered in one overly sweet sauce after another, lots…
Development Week: Macaron Demo at Ma Mere Maison
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…
