Fun Summer Wedding Idea: Ice Cream Sundae Bar

Summer weddings are always a great time. People are in the mood to relax and enjoy a great party, and seeing a beautiful wedding just adds to the enjoyment. Make your party even more delightful for your guests by including a special surprise treat at the reception. A very fun summer wedding idea is to have an ice cream sundae bar.

An ice cream sundae bar is easy to set up, and such a great idea that you will wonder why more couples don't do it. It can be a fairly simple DIY affair, or you can hire someone to staff the bar. If you really want to get fancy, bring in specialty gelato flavors as a wonderful treat. Trust me, it won't just be your flower girls in their cute dresses and girls jewelry who swarm the ice cream sundae station; you will find plenty of adults going back for seconds!

Most ice cream sundaes are really about the toppings, so you don't necessarily need to have a huge variety of ice cream flavors on hand. You would do just fine to have only chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and coffee ice cream at the station. The flavors could either be presented in large bowls with scoops, or you might find it neater to have pre-scooped dishes set out from which guests can choose. Just be sure that you keep the ice cream nice and cold so that it does not get soupy before everyone gets a chance to get their dessert.

The toppings are where you should really go overboard and wow your guests. Certainly you will need the basics like hot fudge, whipped cream, and cherries. From there, indulge your own sweet tooth fantasies! Chunks of Oreos and chocolate chip cookies make tasty toppings, as do chunks of brownies. There are many delicious candies which are just perfect for including in your sundae bar, such as M&Ms (maybe in your wedding colors), sprinkles (or "jimmies", depending on where you live), Reeses Pieces, Heath bar crumbles, and peanut butter cup pieces.

Don't stop there! You can also have other syrups like caramel and strawberry. Set out a nice selection of sliced fruit for guests who want to pretend they are eating something healthy. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and pineapple are all excellent choices. And of course you will need some bananas for those who want to make banana splits. You can even put out broken pieces of waffle cones for guests to mix in with their sundaes. Nuts are typically included in ice cream sundae stations too, but be sensitive to possible allergies. Keep the nuts at the far end of the line, and give every bowl of toppings its own scoop so there is no cross-contamination. The last thing you want is to learn that your favorite niece had to go straight from your reception to the nearest hospital for an allergic reaction, all dressed up in her special dress and girls jewelry!

Decorate your ice cream sundae bar to coordinate with the rest of your wedding reception decor. If you are having a country style wedding, set up the station on an old wooden table decorated with handmade fabric bunting flags. For a more formal wedding, use elegant crystal bowls to hold toppings. If your style is retro chic, create an ice cream sundae bar with the vibe of a 1950's soda fountain, complete with a server dressed like a soda jerk. For a tropical theme wedding, make your station resemble a tiki hut with a thatched roof. There are so many ways that you can decorate a wedding ice cream sundae bar, and since it will be a fairly small area, you can do a lot without spending a lot on the decorations. Your ice cream sundae bar will be a feast for the eyes as well as the palette - your guests will be sure to love it!

11 Tips on The History of Ice Cream

The history of ice cream dates back to before Jesus's birth, when the Chinese used snow to mix up the most basic version of iced foods. The big ice cream revolution didn't really explode until the early years of the last century though, when the introduction of mass-produced products appeared, along with the very first ice cream cone.

Tip 1 - Ice cream wafers.

Wafers were first mentioned around 1770, and were included with iced desserts to aid digestion. Although not yet considered a "cone", these wafers could be rolled into funnel-like shapes and filled with iced desserts.

Tip 2 - Mrs Marshall's Cookery Books.

In 1888, Agnes Marshall from London mentioned a sort of edible ice cream cone in her cookery book, suggesting that ice creamor sorbet could be put into cornets. She also published a further book based on a variety of different ice cream dishes called "Fancy Ices 1894".

Tip 3 - The Hokey Pokey.

In the middle of the 19th century - around 1850 - Hokey Pokey carts appeared in England with immigrants from Italy selling ice cream products from small carts pushed around the streets. Since the consumable ice cream cone had not yet been invented, the Hokey Pokeys sold their wares in not too hygienic paper shapes, resembling cones.

Tip 4 - Ice cream biscuit cups.

The "history of ice cream" is much debated when it comes to the first official ice cream cone. Possibly in response to the cleanliness of the Hokey Pokey ices, Antonia Volvana of Manchester, England made little biscuit based cups which could hold ice cream.

Tip 5 - Ice cream cups, New York.

In 1903, a patent was issued to an Italian man, Italo Marchiony, for an ice mold to be used to create ice cream cups.

Tip 6 - The famous 1904 World Fair.

Nothing could ever have given the now familiar ice cream cone its international fame like the 1904 St Louis World's Fair. Ice cream carts were everywhere, while confectionery sellers gave the fair's visitors sugar-based waffles. Sales of ice creams were doing so well that one of these stand holders found themselves with a shortage of containers, and a pastry maker helped out by rolling up a sweet waffle to hold the waiting ice cream.

Tip 7 - The Antonelli Brothers.

Back in Manchester, England in the early 1900s, the Antonelli Bros opened a factory, manufacturing different ice cream cone products.

Tip 8 - The new cone machine.

Patents were the foundation of the history of ice cream", especially early in our 20th century. In 1924, Ohio man Carl Taylor invented a machine to make cone-shaped baked products.

Tip 9 - The world's biggest ice cream cone.

At the end of the Second World War, a huge helium balloon shaped like a large ice cream cone was part of Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

Tip 10 - A handy ice cream scoop.

In 1897, Alfred Cralle invented an ice cream serving scoop and his design is very similar to the kind of scoop we still use today.

Tip 11 - The softer version.

The ability to put ice cream straight into a cone was helped greatly by the manufacture of the "soft-serve" dispenser in 1938.
