Vampire Penguin Shaved Snow and Desserts will have a grand opening on Jan. 18 at The Shoppes at Vanderbilt at 2355 Vanderbilt Beach Road, Suite 142 in Naples, FL. The celebration will take place from 12 pm until 8 pm. Vampire Penguin will offer shaved snow desserts at half price all day. The grand opening will feature a variety of entertainment, an exclusive Snapchat filter and hourly prize giveaways during the day. Face painting, a digital photo booth and various fun activities will be available from 5 pm to 8 pm. National Penguin Day, which is observed on January 20th , will also be celebrated at the grand opening. Vampire Penguin will raffle a variety of assorted items and gift baskets from participating stores in The Shoppes at Vanderbilt. Vampire Penguin will use the proceeds from the raffle to adopt as many Emperor Penguins as possible through the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The WWF will provide a plush animal, photo and adoption certificate for each donation which will be displayed in the store. “We are excited to bring this unique and delicious dessert to southwest Florida,” says Angie Herrington, co-owner of Vampire Penguin. “We are looking forward to being a part of the local business community.” Shaved snow is very light, fluffy and creamy and should not be confused with shaved ice. Shaved snow is unlike any dessert out there. This low calorie, low sugar dessert must be experienced to be appreciated. There are many dairy and gluten free options so it can be enjoyed by a wide variety of people. Customers can build their own desserts or choose from the top-selling Signature Items. One of the most popular desserts, the Strawberry Cheesecake, is a mix of strawberry and vanilla snow. It is topped with graham crackers, white chocolate, condensed milk and strawberry sauce with strawberries and a raspberry on top. There is a variety of unique desserts as well from the Asian-inspired Halo Halo to the Mexican-infused Mexican Candy. The best sellers for the kids are the S’Moreos and the cotton candy Sweet Tooth. It is fun to talk about all of the offerings but, again, Vampire Penguin is indescribable and has to be experienced especially with friends and family.
