What is Artisan Gelato?
A word that should only be reserved for an elite, committed craft, "Gelato" is the age-old Italian art of frozen dessert. Artisan Gelato is a true commitment to the respect it deserves; it's hand-crafted small batches. It's created with fresh local milk, cane sugar and seasonal fresh fruit. It's nuts from Sicily & Piedmont, the world's finest chocolates, and other premium ingredients. It's the difference between Fiasco and the other guys.
The art of making a Premium Gelato is different in that it produces a smoother, more flavourful product with less air, sugar and 1/3 the fat of traditional ice cream.
What is Fiasco Sorbetto?
Sorbetto is a dairy-free version, made the same way as Gelato, minus the milk. Sorbetto is fat-free, dairy-free, and full of natural flavour.
Meet the team
Ashley- "Asher"
Junior Gelatiere
Ashley's enthusiasm for Fiasco and pastry schooling made her an ideal candidate for growing our kitchen team. She is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with, and soon will be hosting our Gelato Academy classes! Gelato detention anyone?
Austin- "Aussie"
Jack of All Trades
Austin has quickly become an integral part of Fiasco's daily operations. Between production, the gelato truck and anything else thrown his way, he has truly done his best to embody all that is Fiasco. And if you're sneaky you can catch his dance moves when he thinks no one is looking.
Brittany- "Bitty"
Social Media Maven
Once a cafe manager at our Kensington location, then an apprentice gelato chef, Brittany has become an asset to the Fiasco Team. With a strong knowledge of our brand & market trends, she is the perfect candidate for being the on-line voice of our brand. And it doesn't hurt one bit that her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
-
Crystal- "C dizzle"
-
Junior Gelatiere
Crystal is a machine in the kitchen. Whether she is zesting & juicing lemons, building a recipe, or pulling a freshly spun batch, she's got this. The only thing now is to get her some stilts so she can reach the top shelf in the fridge!

-
"Ellie" The Elephant
-
The Mascot of Summer
She wasn't much when we found her derelict on a farm in Southern AB, but a serious makeover would make Ellie the hottest Grumman around. Even though she lets us know once in a while we've been riding her hard, she continues to give it her all.

Chief Idea Officer

-
John- "John B"
-
Operational Tactician
John's tenured knowledge of several aspects of our business make him a huge addition to our team. His enthusiasm for our vision and longterm success is a valuble asset in our pursuit of greatness. He is resposible for ensuring our wheels don't fall off while we shoot for the moon.

Kasia- "Kash"
-
Partner Relations Specialist
Kasia has been a fan of Fiasco for years, and her knowledge of the industry is more than we could ask for. Her role within our team allows her to share both of these assets with those we work with, to change the way business between supplier & customer is done.

New Kid on the Block
