So, I made a poster for the window to show what our new 'Flip 'n' Dip' ice cream is. I made it in Canva. It was fine, but nothing impressive. So, I have a lot on, I'm juggling a bit, so I asked Canva's in-built AI to just 'snazz it up a bit, keep the image of the ice cream the same, but just make it a bit more wow'. Anyway...the first one is mine.....the second one (and I am not making this up, I promise) was its new jazzed-up version of my ICE CREAM POSTER....now I'll have to change my product range 😆😆😆😆😆😆

Hi all, does anyone know of the cool art place in Timaru that does parties for kids? I would like to recommend it to someone from Timaru who would like a birthday party but I can’t remember the name.

🍦 IT’S HERE… THE FLIP ’N’ DIP! 🍦

Cone? Cup? OR BOTH?! 👀

We’ve gone and flipped ice cream on its head at The Old Tin Shed.

Introducing our brand-new Flip ’n’ Dip — your favourite scoop, flipped upside down into a pot of delicious sauce and sprinkles, ready for you to dip, dunk, swirl and absolutely make a glorious mess of it. 😂

It’s ice cream… but not as you know it.

And because we’re feeling pretty excited about this one, we’re officially declaring ourselves:

🔥 THE HOME OF THE FLIP ’N’ DIP REVOLUTION! 🔥

Come down tomorrow 12-4pm, grab one, and tell us what you reckon. Thanks to my Social Media Manager Cecily for this masterpiece. What would I do without you 😍

Open 12-4pm today! And we have a new ice cream that we created this week. It’s called the Flip ‘n’ Dip we think, but feel free to come up with a new name (we considered The Dunk but realised that people might say something else instead by mistake 😂😂😂) pictures and videos to follow as soon as I’ve edited them. Can anyone guess what a Flip ‘n’ Dip is?? This is my reaction to it😁
