Architecture-Inspired Ice Cream Sandwiches
In addition to pizza, we seem to be experiencing a coast-to-coast ice cream rennaisance as well. News of the Coolhaus ice cream truck (which would have come in handy in March, when I ventured to the Hollyhock House only to find it closed- ice cream would have softened the blow, for sure) signals an even further dive into the niche market of marketing ice cream. Recent architecture grads Natasha Case and Freya Estreller are the purveyors of ice cream sandwiches inspired by great architects and their work- think Richard Meyer Lemon ice cream in a ginger cookie sandwich & “Mies Vanilla Rohe.”
While they're only on the left coast, it still makes me happy to know that summertime still means simple pleasures like ice cream- even if it now involves algorithms and mitered edges. It's edible art!
