KARACHI:


In a surprise victory, Adya, one of the chefs at Latte Lounge, created the winning sundae with smarties, wafers, brownie and cherries at a competition sponsored by a major ice-cream company on Friday.


Most of the people who turned up to watch the masters at work at a shopping mall thought that Pie in the Sky would be a sure winner. The other two bakeries invited were Hobnob and Desserts. The competition was an innovative way for the ice-cream company to launch two flavours - vanilla heaven and strawberry passion.

As the competition got under way, free samples of the new flavours were given out and a debate ensued over which was the better one. One boy proudly claimed that strawberry was his favourite flavour and it didn’t matter if it was a “girl’s flavour”.

Black couches and jazz musicians accompanied the competition as the chefs rustled up the sundaes with brownies, toothpicks, sauces, wafers, toppings, mint. “You can smell the dairy,” said Ayesha Omar, a actor who came to watch them at work.

The judge was chef Saadat Siddiqui with the ARY Digital Zouq channel.
