We’re rolling out the fall toppings for our ice cream sundae parties. When you book a party in October you’ll get two kinds of candy corn, orange sprinkles, and candy pumpkins with your hot fudge and peanuts. Also, our servers will show up in costume if you request it. You can even provide costumes for them to wear if you’re having a themed party. We’re here to please!

This dessert brings new meaning to the phrase Ice Cream Sandwich. Our client Lady Chocolatt on Wilshire Blvd. in L.A. puts scoops of ice cream inside a croissant upon request. Now that’s a new kind of ice cream sandwich. What will the Belgians think of next?
Wednesday was a HUGE catering day for us. We served thousands of sundaes at three different property management parties. It’s still nice and warm here in Southern California, perfect hot fudge sundae weather. It’s not too late to book YOUR party. 🙂
