Dandy Don’s HomeMade Ice Cream is very proud to be alongside Krispy Kreme Donuts and Teezer Mix serving the outdoor skaters at the The Century Plaza Hotel’s new outdoor Ice Rink. In addition to providing our classic sundae bar, we are also serving our new Scoop on a Stick.

The Scoop on a Stick is an ice cream scoop hand dipped in chocolate then rolled in nuts, sprinkles, and even Oreo Cookie crumbles. Skaters may choose Vanilla, Chocolate, or Peppermint Stick ice cream for the Scoop on a Stick.

“We’re highlighting Scoops on a Stick at the rink because they’ve been so well received by all demographics when and wherever we’ve introduced them,” says Dandy Don. “Always go with a winner!”

The Scoop on a Stick was also featured at the American Idol finals and Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang fund raiser at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.

Scoops on a Stick and Dandy Don’s traditional sundae bar with 10 toppings will be available at The ice Rink through Feb. 18.

Dandy Don’s HomeMade Ice Cream will once again be serving hot fudge sundaes at the Bon Appetit Wine & Spirits Focus which takes place in San Francisco from January 31 to February 2, 2003.    We’ve taken part in the Los Angeles Focus since 1996. Bon Appetit likes us so much, they invited us up to San Francisco for the third year in a row. We’re happy to go.

In addition to serving hot fudge sundaes, Dandy Don’s sells super-premium ice cream to over 150 top-rated restaurants and gourmet markets around Los Angeles. Our customers include Cafe Bizou, Fred 62, The Farm of Beverly Hills and lots more.

In business for over 20 years now, Dandy Don’s has taken home a total of 18 gold medals at the Los Angeles County Fair.

For those who wish to try a sundae locally, Dandy Don’s will be serving hot fudge sundaes at Planned Parenthood on March 6th in Santa Monica (at the Civic Auditorium) and at Make-A-Wish on March 8th at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

Dandy Don’s HomeMade Ice Cream entered some of its super-premium ice cream in the Los Angeles County Fair’s dairy products competition. The ice cream was judged against a standard of excellence. Those flavors which scored 100 out of 100 points received a Gold Medal. Dandy Don’s took home six Gold Medals.

“We submitted some of our off-the-wall flavors and our new Chocolate made with Schokinag German cocoa,” said Dandy Don. The winning not-so-standard flavors are Banana, Cinnamon, Cookies & Cream, Dulce de Leche, and Green Tea. The new version of their classic Chocolate ice cream also won Gold.

Dandy Don’s HomeMade Ice Cream is made in Van Nuys and delivered to fine restaurants, hotels, country clubs, and markets all over Southern California.

Dandy Don’s HomeMade Ice Cream participates in the fundraising activities of long established charities like Planned Parenthood, Children Affected by AIDS, Special Olympics, the Concern Foundation, the Starlight Foundation, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“Hot fudge sundaes are our bullets in the battle of the diseases we want to vanquish,” says Dandy Don’s owner Don Whittemore. He loves to do community service work “because it’s a fun way of giving.” Whittemore also donates discount coupons for ice cream sundae bars to the charities for their silent auctions.

In October Dandy Don’s will be serving hot fudge sundaes at the Children Affected by AIDS Dream Halloween party, Bon Appetit’s fundraising event, and the Special Olympics. “We use the opportunity to promote ourselves and we give of our services gladly,” says Dandy Don. “It’s always better to give than receive.”
