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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…

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…

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.…
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…
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…
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…
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…
