I Luv DQ

Through some get this crazy woman off my back luck I had a little tour of the ice cream cake making facilities at Dairy Queen and I’m here to report my findings.

I was there, innocently enough, ordering an ice cream cake for my 5 year old.  She is not the celiac in our family, but c’mon, which father do you know, wants to sit out the birthday cake festivities?   Apparently the lady thought that I would stop asking questions (like, “you’re not going to reuse that utensil are you?”  “Do you make more than one cake at a time?”  “Do you re-use spreading spatula’s?”) if she SHOWed me around the place.  She looked at me with a grin on her face after only the fifth or sixth question (I was just getting started), and said, “Come here.  I’ll just show you.”  Works for me!

And I have to build up to this - this is big stuff(I don’t get out enough).   Did you know that the crumbs in the middle of the DQ cakes are pre-packaged?   I kid you not – pre-packaged.  They are sealed, frozen and just slipped out of the package and placed on the first layer of ice cream.  This means there are no boxes or bags of crumbs in the cake area.  There are no spatulas used to spread the crumbs before the second layer.  I also asked to see saw the sprinkles, sparkles, and food dye that is used in the air brush, and the roses.  All of it is gluten free.

Five stars from this DQ fan!!
