The scoop on Edubs Creamery Senior marks 4 years of business

By Emma Parker, Managing Editor

Most seniors have been waiting four years for their just desserts. But senior Eden Wright started in eighth grade, creating and managing her own homemade ice cream company, Edubs Creamery.

“I have always loved ice cream, and when I got my first ice cream maker and made my first batch I knew that was the start of everything,” Wright said.

Wright is involved in every aspect of the company, from making the ice cream, packing and distributing, to marketing the company and its products on the company’s Instagram, @Edubscreamery. She spends weekends planning out her marketing strategy for the next collection, designing the new flavors, and then makes the ice cream during the week after school. All business interactions go through her Instagram where she confirms the orders and schedules a pick up time for each customer.

Each collection consists of 20 pints, and are designed around a specific theme. She released a Mean Girls collection on Oct. 3, Mean Girls Day. The flavor was “So Fetch” and it was a vanilla ice cream with a pink marshmallow swirl, pink sprinkles and animal cookies. The collection before that was “Stranger Things”, consisting of two new flavors that was released near the premiere of Season 3 of the Netflix science fiction horror series.

This could be the last chance to order Edubs ice cream as Wright has her sights on going out of state to Belmont University in Tennessee or The King’s College in New York City to study business, perhaps with a specialization in entertainment.

“I don’t think I would continue Edubs Creamery once I’m in college,” Wright said. “It logistically doesn’t make sense on how I would be able to make ice cream out of my dorm. But I will definitely still continue to make ice cream for fun.”

Till then, Wright plans on continuing working on Edubs Creamery and finishing senior year while taking part in her extracurriculars such as First Priority, Quill and Scroll and Disabled and Abled United.
