Ah, Messina. Your wild and delicious creations know no bounds. Your knack for creating things that look like they shouldn’t be edible but actually are continue to leave us shook.
Father’s Day is coming up quick smart and instead of trying to gift our daddos another hardware voucher or shithouse tie from Lowe’s, the gelato kings have provided something truly spesh – a bloody cake that looks like a precious video tape.
YOU BETTER REWIND THAT, BUDDY. (Image Supplied.)
If you’re in your mid-twenties or so and remember how much your dad treasured the family VHS like it was his own child. There was always that half-serious joke that he loved that damned thing more than you.
I can hear the faint calls of “rewind it before you put it back” like I’m right back in my lounge room, sitting a metre away from the TV.
The cake itself is a tape of Being An Awesome Dad For Dummies (on VHS!) which screams dad-joke levels of humour and lameness.
The gelato is pretty much a chocolate Negroni in cake form – it’s chocolate orange cake, layered with vermouth gelato, and almond crunch, a Negroni gel made with gin from across the road at Archie Rose, and blood orange mousse.
You can order ’em online for 55 clams, and pick them up from the following shops:
NSW – Bondi, Darlinghurst, Miranda, Parramatta, Rosebury, Penrith.
VIC – Fitzroy, Windsor.
QLD – South Brisbane.
Fucking YUM. (Sorry for swearing, Dad.)
P.S. If you don’t have a Dad then that’s no matter. All the more cake for you, my good dude. <3
