I set up the first ice cream sundae bar of my life last weekend, and I think I found a new way to kick off the start of summer each year. So much fun!
I served several ice cream flavors and all kinds of ice cream sundae bar toppings!
I served three flavors of ice cream at my ice cream sundae bar: Sea Salted Caramel, Mint Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Peanut Butter.
Tips for Setting Up an Ice Cream Sundae Bar
Whether you’re partying inside or outside, you’ll want to set everything up on an easy-to-wipe-clean surface. I like using vinyl tablecloths in cheery designs and happy colors.
Make it easy for guests to find the flavor of their dreams by adding fun chalkboard signs for the containers.
Pre-scoop a few servings of ice cream, and put them in front of the labeled containers. The first several people can just grab a cup and start adding toppings right away!
Speaking of toppings….
Hot fudge and caramel are favorite must-have’s, but there’s no limit to what you can offer.
Chopped up candy bars, cookies, gummy bars, preserves, nuts, berries, pretzels and sprinkles work wonderfully with frozen treats, and don’t forget the whipped cream and maraschino cherries for the tippy top!
Festive cups, spoons and napkins really add to the party atmosphere too, so have fun picking those out. I found cute containers and scoops to use for my toppings too!
Now just relax and let your guests enjoy their sundae creations!
