Why Ice Cream Sundae Bars Are a Crowd Favorite

There’s something timeless—and irresistible—about a build-your-own sundae station. It’s part dessert, part experience, and 100% joy. From weddings and summer parties to corporate icebreakers and birthday bashes, ice cream bar catering brings guests together in the most delicious way possible.

We’ve watched grown-ups turn into kids again while topping their scoops with crushed cookies, hot fudge, and rainbow sprinkles. It’s more than dessert—it’s a memory waiting to happen. That’s what our ice cream bar catering delivers.

Custom Sundae Bars for Any Event

No two events are alike, and your dessert station shouldn’t be either. We offer fully customizable ice cream bars with premium scoops, house-made sauces, and a toppings lineup that’s as classic or creative as you want it to be.

Whether you're planning a rustic outdoor gathering or a sleek rooftop cocktail hour, we tailor the sundae bar to fit your theme. Our stations can be self-serve or fully staffed, depending on your event vibe.

A Look at Our Toppings Lineup

Here’s where things get fun. We go beyond the basics and offer everything from vintage toppings to gourmet surprises. Guests can choose their base, then pile on the flavor:

• Hot fudge, salted caramel, berry compote
• Crushed cookies, toasted coconut, peanut brittle
• Sprinkles, gummy bears, crushed candy bars
• Fresh fruit, chopped nuts, whipped cream

We also offer dairy-free and allergy-conscious toppings to keep every guest included—and every sundae a safe delight.

Perfect for Every Kind of Celebration

Sundae bars are one of the most versatile dessert options out there. We’ve set them up at backyard birthday parties, black-tie galas, school fundraisers, and employee appreciation days. The setup is scalable, the ingredients are crowd-pleasers, and the presentation is always a hit.

Need a fun twist? Pair your sundae bar with our s’mores bar catering NYC for a dessert duo your guests won’t forget.

Setups That Match Your Style

We design each sundae bar to blend seamlessly with your event. That means styled tables, uniformed staff (if requested), compostable bowls and spoons, and signage that makes it easy to navigate. Want a more interactive experience? We can staff the bar and scoop sundaes to order, offering a touch of old-school charm and high-end service.

From backyard casual to ballroom formal, we build our setups to serve both ice cream and atmosphere.

New York summers call for cool treats—and nothing beats the heat like a scoop (or three). Our ice cream bar catering is a staple for outdoor events, rooftop parties, and neighborhood block celebrations. We handle everything from delivery and setup to breakdown and cleanup.

Every event comes with insulated storage, labeled topping stations, and a presentation setup that looks as good as it tastes. Whether it’s 20 people or 200, we make sundaes simple, smooth, and spectacular.
