Cope with MCO at home with some boozy ice creams, artisanal desserts, and scrumptious cakes. Or all three.
It’s probably safe to say that even though everyone has different coping mechanisms, there’s a common one that unites us all – and that’s all things sweet and indulgent. Sure, we can make our to-do lists and look up ways for self betterment, but there’ll be days when we just want to curl up and have some ice cream.
Thankfully, these 8 dessert and ice cream shops are here to soothe your MCO woes as they’re offering delivery and takeaway options. You won’t have to worry about being limited to everyday flavours like chocolate and vanilla (although can those classics really go wrong?), as you’ll be able to choose from meticulously crafted cakes to exciting ice cream combinations that will no provide some much needed comfort.
