Ice cream cones go pink
Following an innovative suggestion from Jannettas Gelateria in St Andrews, Glasgow-based wafer cone manufacturer Waverley has produced pink wafer cones to sell during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Both Waverley and Jannettas will be fundraising and raising awareness for Breakthrough Breast Cancer through the sale of the cones, with Jannettas selling a ‘pink cone’ containing its homemade strawberry gelato.
Nicola Hazel, co-owner, Jannettas Gelateria says: “Because my mother, Fiona Jannetta De Angelis, the former owner of Jannettas, sadly died from breast cancer 16 years ago, this is a cause that is genuinely close to our hearts. We thought that creating a pink cone would be a wonderful tribute to her, as well as raising much-needed funds for on-going research into a disease which affects so many families.”
Nadia Millar, managing director of The Waverley Bakery says: “Breakthrough Breast Cancer is such a fantastic charity and it is really making a difference to the lives of those suffering with the disease. We have created this pink cone, which is the first of its kind, as a way of increasing awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness month and raising as much money as possible for such a worthy cause. We are delighted to be able to lend our support and hope as many people as possible get behind this great initiative.”
