“She’s got shells, she’s got cream, they’re so good, and
they’ll make you scream. I’m in love
with the Queen of CANNOLI!!!!!!!” (The Ravenna Song)
Hello Everyone,
If you do not know by
now, I will remind you all that I come from an Italian household. I was raised with Italian traditions and
values. I am proud of my upbringing. It wasn’t perfect by all means but when
things got upsetting we always had CANNOLI!! LOL. On that note, I needed to know how to make a
Cannoli.
In 2013, Holy Cannoli
was created by Vanessa Chiaravalloti.
Vanessa who also was raised by Italian parents, wanted to share her
father Nicola’s Secret Cannoli Cream to the world. Nicola, a long time baker perfected the
Cannoli Cream in his bakery Bona Via Bakery.
Now, when I heard that my girl Vanessa was Calabrese, I knew I was meant
to EAT THESE CANNOLI. HA-HA.
How did they taste? Well,
let’s just say I had about 10 of them. LOL.
The cream is incredible. It melts
in your mouth. I have eaten a lot of cannoli
in my lifetime, but, these cannoli are special.
I am not just saying this because I got an opportunity to stuff my own
cannoli. I am saying this because they
taste really great.
Vanessa and I had an
amazing day. She was patient in showing
me how to hold and stuff the cannoli.
She is a very creative girl.
After filling our cannoli, Vanessa designed my name out of these tasty
treats. NIKI in cannoli. How cool is
that?!? I love seeing my name in anything but seeing it made in cannoli, made
my day.
I had an incredible time. Vanessa made cups stuffed with cream, Chips
& Dip and my FAVORITE was the pannetone designed like a Christmas tree. That pannetone with the secret cannoli cream
in the middle, tasted like heaven!!!!!! It was so good, that guess who dropped
cream all over her top? That would be me. LOL.
Working out of the
Cake Collective, Holy Cannoli provides its products throughout this city. They deliver!!!! Pick up the phone and order
yourself some fantastic cannoli. Holy
Cannoli will also be at this year’s Gourmet Food & Wine Expo. Nov 20-23rd. Not only will they be at the Expo with their fantastic
products, but a little birdy informed me that Vanessa’s dad Nicola will also
make an appearance. Come check out Holy
Cannoli at the Gourmet Food and Wine Expo.
They will be debuting Cannoli Cups and Gluten-Free Cannoli. After a long day, nothing will make you
happier than a great cannoli and glass of wine. I am looking forward to having some more of
Vanessa’s amazing treats, and I may just have to try their chocolate
cream. This time, I will be bringing a
tide to go with me. LOL.
I want to thank
everyone at Holy Cannoli, Vanessa and Winnie.
I also want to thank the staff at The Cake Collective. Everyone was so friendly. I felt like I was part of your family. I got warm fuzzy feelings inside, and it wasn’t
just from the amazing cannoli I devoured. Ha-ha.

pay off...”
