champagne Moment as we win Gold Stars in this years Great Taste Awards.

Hot news @ ice house, today we have learned that we have won a Gold Star for our Champagne Kulfi and we have won 2 Gold Stars for our Almond & Pistachio Kulfi.

In Yorkshire only two other ice creams firms have won an award. Both just winning 1 gold each. So by eck our little firm making product in our home kitchen has out performed all of the other Yorkshire ice cream producers ( who entered). A champagne moment indeed. (See our blog for more info)

world Cup Madness has been gripping Ice House since January, when we decided on the 2nd major promotion for the summer. 

 

 We have managed to link a range of Kulfi flavours with the Teams appearing in the finals.

We are particulary happy with the following flavours

Rocky Road for England,

Cookies and Cream for USA,

Clementine Sorbet for Spain,

Wine Sorbet with Black Forest fruits for Germany,

Nuts for Brazil,

Irish Cream for France,

Chocolate for the Swiss,

and of course of the flavours are kept in the cold cabinate to keep them Chile!

 

election fever has been gripping us here at ice house since Dec2009 when we 1st set on the idea of launching our own ice cream party poll to see if we could determine which party will win the next election.

Yes we are trying to predict the election result by allowing the electorate to vote with their stomach, by the sale of colour co-ordinated party political ice cream flavours. Indie Ices will produce a special ice cream party poll each week on the back of: sales of 5 varieties of ice cream specially produced for the election, votes cast on its website and votes cast in its facebook poll.

 The five varieties on offer from the date the election is called until Election Day are:

 Conservative Party, Blue Stilton & Pineapple Kulfi ice cream

Green Party, Almond and Pistachio Kulfi ice cream

Labour Party, Red Rose & Berry fruit ice

Liberal Democrat Party, Mango Kulfi ice cream

Monster Raving Loony Party, Rhubarb and Fruitcake Kulfi ice cream

 We have not forgotten the floating voters either, as they plan to have a plain vanilla flavour kulfi scooped into a glass of pop!

 I have only one piece of advice for the troops of all parties - return to your constituency’s and prepare for dessert

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ABOUT INDIE ICES

Indie Ices was formed by myself in March 2009. We started out with 2 Kulfi products both Traditional Indian recipes and have over the year expanded to different Kulfi flavours, Sorbets, Fruit Ices and Lolly ices. And plan some exciting new ranges for 2010. Watch the News section for more info through 2010.

As you will read on the press articles my background prior to setting up this company was a Technical Manager in the Food Industry. For those of you unaware of what this involves, I basically had ultimate responsibility for ensuring that all the food produced was safe to eat and of a consistent good quality produced from a number of factories throughout England.

I have had my hand in many pies over the years. if you have eaten food from Tesco, JS, Waitrose, Pizza Hut, Pret or Starbucks it may well have been a product i had made, or been involved in making earlier in my life.

After 15 Years I turned my back on the unsociable hours and decided to become a house husband. I have looked after my two children both under 6 for 5 years now.

My wife Rajni fully supported my career break and always had faith I would develop a successful idea for a business. It's not only down to her belief in me that I supply Kulfi to Leeds Farmers Markets and beyond its also down to an old Family Kulfi recipe from the Punjab that was kindly supplied to me by her parents.

We have come a long way since I first started to develop the idea in Dec 2008 but our aim has always been and always will be, not only to say we produce a quality product but to actually deliver high quality, superb tasting, consistent quality products that offers value for money and hopefully are delivered with great customer service.
