Just Dandy
Peerless regional company creates top-selling flavors.
Making a unique vision reality, Don Whittemore — a music biz whiz who promoted artists such as The Beatles, Elvis, David Bowie, Cat Stevens and John Denver — established Van Nuys, Calif.-based Dandy Don’s HomeMade Ice Cream in 1981.
Building a pint customer base since 2000, Dandy Don’s specializes in sundae-bar catering and serving fine restaurants and markets in Los Angeles County from Burbank to Malibu and Northridge to Bel-Air.
The company serves ice cream and sorbet to more than 150 restaurants, hotels and country clubs in the Los Angeles area. In fact, the area’s top chefs use Dandy Don’s ice creams in their dessert recipes, the company reports.
Dandy Don’s sundae-bar catering brings hot fudge sundaes to large corporations and television and movie sets, as well as private homes.
Using a custom-designed wrap-around label in conjunction with a lid label to avoid huge minimums required in direct-carton printing, the company recently created new packaging for its top-selling pint flavors.
Customers all over the country can purchase one-of-a-kind flavors such as Cappuccino Crunch, Strawberries & Brown Sugar, White Pistachio, Banana Cream, Green Tea and Pink Ginger online and have them shipped overnight to anywhere in the continental United States.
