Creating The Best Ice Cream Sundae Bar

By Rosella Campbell


Most people entertain at some time in their lives. They may focus on family or close friends or associates as guests for their parties. Dessert is one of the main stays of any party and when the party is small and informal they have a wider spectrum of arenas to work in. With a wider spectrum to work in many people are deciding to create their own ice cream sundae bar for their guests.

While creating a dessert station of this magnitude may sound like a formidable task the dynamics are actually quite simple. The difficult part may be trying to decide which toppings to choose from the multitude of options available to select from. Along with the ones you can purchase from stores you can create your own favorites in a few minutes.

The sauces you use can be the favorites that can be found ready to serve. They are chocolate, caramel, and strawberry and may be found in any store. If you are creative you could create your own specialty sauces easily. There are recipes for cherry sauces as well as homemade raspberry sauce that will astound with their flavor and texture. Creating colored meringues is also an option. The colors are achieved with food coloring or other natural dyes and they can be used to brighten the serving table.

Dry toppings are another exciting venture for the hostess. Finding out the favorites of family and guests prior to the event may be a challenge but making a game out of getting the information can work well. Falling back on favorites can also be an option for the less adventurous. Chopped nuts, colorful sprinkles and chocolate chips are always a hit.

Don't forget to supply the finishing touches like whipped cream and cherries for your guests. Place the toppings and sprinkles in decorative dishes, apothecaries or baskets with individual serving spoons. The spoons help to keep the ingredients from being mixed and present a cleaner look on the table. Make certain that the toppings are labeled for easy identification. You may also want to make suggestions of combinations that work well together. You might also want to place suggestions for mixtures next to the containers.

Some people collect antique dessert dishes for serving their guests. These dishes work best when children are not present and the event is held inside the home. For outdoor parties using plastic dishes and eating utensils is recommended. They are durable and will not break if dropped by a child and aide in the clean up process by being disposable.

For smaller parties it is recommended that ice cream selections be less than three. Chocolate and vanilla are favorites for most people. As a means of keeping it cold many people use a large tub of ice that will help keep it from melting. Each container should have a scoop of its own.

There is no limit to the items that can be used for this type of dessert and it gives your guests the option of designing their own favorite taste treats. There may be no better way to entertain guests while also allowing the option of self determination to prevail.
