Jeni Britton Bauer, owner of Columbus Ohio based Jeni’s Spendid Ice Creams, believes that ice cream is the ultimate aphrodisiac. You can learn a lot about a person by the flavors they choose (classic? bold?) and how they eat their ice cream (do they lick or bite?). Its taste, scent and body engages all the senses.
People have said yes to marriage proposals written on flavor cards inside Jeni’s freezer cases, and have served their own custom Jeni’s flavor in place of traditional wedding cake. In fact, Jeni’s hosted its first wedding this past December. The bride and groom shared a cone of the signature Pistachio & Honey and Wildberry Lavender during an intimate ceremony in one of Jeni’s brightly-colored Columbus scoop shops. Jeni’s signature and limited edition pints are also a refreshing departure from standard chocolates.
Available March through April, “Super Pop Cakes!” debuts Mar. 2. It features five brand-new flavors inspired by the bright, fun and easy-to-love cakes and pop culture from around the world. The Super Pop Cakes! collection includes southern-inspired Hummingbird Cake loaded with bananas, pecans, pineapple and cinnamon, and a custardy, coconut-laden Tres Leches with Here-n-There Cherries. There’s Icelandic Happy Marriage Cake, a riff on the country’s popular combination of skyr cheese, sweet oat biscuits and rhubarb compote and Mango Kiwi Special Cake strewn with pillowy angel food cake. Pink, floral Magnolia Mochi borrows from the classic flavors of Japan with chewy, buttery mochi in every bite.
Jeni’s signature seasonal pints: Gooey Butter Cake, Roxbury Road and Lime Cardamom Frozen Yogurt, will also be available, as will special ice cream sandwiches made with classic Jeni’s flavors and housemade cookies and macarons. Sandwiches include Oatmeal cream, Cashew Banana Curry, Orchid Vanilla, Pistachio and Salty Caramel with Smoked Almonds.
The “Super Pop Cakes!” collection is $70 and individual flavors are $12 each. Collections range from $70-$175 and individual flavors are $12 each all available for home delivery within the United States at jenisicecreams.com.
