Scoop or Spade

Coffee gelato on cone
Originally uploaded by gelato.maker

Was testing different ways of presenting the cone. Spade or scoop. After numerous attempts with the scoop, decided to go with the spade as it looked more organic and freeform, compared the the perfectly round scoop.

K took a look at the photo and the first thing he sad was "That's got to drip". Second thing he said was "Call it the minute scoop". Guess there is a trade off between me wanting it to look organic and generous and the practicality of it since being in tropical Singapore its not the most friendly weather for gelato stability. 

On the other hand, having such hot weather and the speed at which Singaporeans do things, it might get eaten before it has a chance to melt.
