Inside the bakery

Leicester Square has seen its fair share of stars over the years, but nothing could prepare it for the arrival of this bovine beauty. Yes, Ben & Jerry’s very own Dolly made her annual outing in Leicester Square yesterday to celebrate the brand’s 30th birthday with the good folk of London.

Despite the weather’s best efforts to put a dampner on proceedings, hundreds of fans turned up for free ice cream at one of the hotspot’s three Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops. As well as leading happy birthday sing-a-longs, our friesian friend Dolly - with a little help from Cake - invited punters to sign a massive 6-foot birthday card which is now occupying pride of place at Cake HQ before winging its way straight to Ben and Jerry in Vermont.

Prince Charles can look forward to a double dollop of goodness this Wednesday: to celebrate HRH’s special day, legendairy ice cream makers Ben & Jerry’s have rustled up a bespoke birthday treat.

Heir To The Cone is the jewel in the crown of Ben & Jerry’s range. This limited edition ice cream is a sweet gift for the guy who has everything – and sure to make for one cool birthday when it lands on the Prince’s doorstep tomorrow.

Heir to the Cone is a right royal treat of creamy banana ice cream, walnuts and chocolatey chunks. Of course, only the finest ingredients were used in this ice cream fit for a king (to be)!
