June 2018 – 16 Handles has always been about revolutionizing dessert. Ever since the first store opened in the East Village in 2008, 16 Handles has continued to innovate flavors, toppings, and treats to elevate the DIY soft-serve experience. Now, 16 Handles is taking their passion for all things sweet and creating something entirely new: Sugalips, a brand that goes beyond the cup by curating delicious, beautifully composed desserts.
“We’re so excited to launch this brand new counter-serve concept. In addition to our self-serve experience that everyone knows and loves, we’re now giving guests the opportunity to choose from a collection of delicious, over-the-top desserts made to order at the Sugalips counter,” says founder and CE-Yo, Solomon Choi.
To celebrate 16 Handles’ tenth birthday and the launch of the Sugalips brand, the East Village location will be giving away free desserts from Sugalips’ debut Galaxy Collection all day on both Monday, June 18 and Tuesday, June 19 (11:30 AM to 11:30 PM).
The very first Sugalips collection invites the consumer to come play in a dreamy dessert galaxy:
The flavor journey starts with the #GalaxyCone, a deliciously sweet combination of Cotton Candy and Sweet Taro Pie frozen yogurt, served in a cotton candy cloud cone with rock candy crystals, stars, and galaxy-themed hues of black, pink, blue, and purple.
Summertime cravings for something cool and refreshing are quenched by the Frozen Galaxy Tea Lemonade. The lemonade changes color as you sip and swirl. Made with butterfly pea tea flowers and freshly squeezed lemons, the Frozen Galaxy Tea Lemonade is as eye-catching as it is satisfying.
For the ultra-indulgent dessert seeker, the Poppin’ Galaxy Tart is the ultimate dessert sandwich experience. Crafted with Sweet Taro Pie and Cotton Candy frozen yogurt wedged between two warm Wild Berry Pop-Tarts®, this Fro-Yo sandwich is a decadent taste of childhood you just can’t resist.
