2009 NZ Ice Cream Awards
The 13th New Zealand Ice Cream Awards were announced in Palmerston North on Thursday, 28th May 2009.
Judges Kay McMath, Joanna Boese, Susan Crowhen, Aaron Pooch, and Mr Garry Baker used International judging guidelines with each ice cream, starting off with 100 points from which points are deducted due to various imperfections such as appearance defects, body and texture, flavour defects and melting defects.
"Divine" was how one little boy from Three Kings School described the ice creams he and his fellow classmates had to judge as their role in deciding winner of the Kids Choice category in this year's Awards. They all considered they had the "best job in the world"
