Customer Testimonial

Nikki from Tasty Toucan
In 2023, Nikki Neboshynsky's ice pop-making skills gained national recognition when she won the Paleta Competition at ConeCon, the largest ice cream trade event in the U.S.

Nikki Neboshynsky, Owner of Tasty Toucan

The depth of information and science behind building recipes and choosing ingredients was PRICELESS! Chef Pedro's openness to questions and comments made the time we spent together comfortable. I highly recommend Honey Scoop's course and hope to work with Pedro when I start to make my own ice cream.
