Gelato Seminar

DSCF0358

Halloween Gelato Seminar

We’ve had many requests for another gelato seminar.  Now that business appears to be getting back to normal for most of you we thought this was a great time to host another.  Now is the perfect time to start planning and getting financing together for a Spring startup.

Come to UMG on Friday October 30th @ 1pm and see all that Gelato can offer your business.

Fabbri will be sending Pastry Chef Tom Treischmann to co-host the event with us.  We’ll go over what type of equipment you’ll need, simple and artisan gelato preparations and have some fun with seasonal gelato ideas (beware of the Gelato Brain!)  Already making gelato?  Feel free to come over to meet Tom and pick his brain (not just the gelato one….getting curious aye?) and find new ideas for spicing up your gelato display.  Space is limited so please RSVP to david@uppermidwestgourmet.com and reserve a spot.
