1. Ultimate Ice Cream Sundaes
Ice Cream Sundaes are always a crowd pleaser, what’s not to love – dreamy, indulgent ice cream and juicy, fresh fruits topped off with cream and loads of sprinkles. Oh my daes! Bring the fun factor by inviting your guests to build their own; selecting their ice cream flavours and fruit combos before adding the perfect toppings. Or top off with some sparklers for the wooooooooow effect.
2. Brownie Bar
Who doesn’t love a chocolate brownie or two (or three)? For a tempting treat set-up a cute and colourful Brownie Bar offering an array of flavours in bite sized pieces. Why not try Rocky Road, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Orange, Baileys, Peanut Butter, Bourbon Biscuit or Marshmallow?
3. Pimp Your Doughnut Bar
Your guests will go doughnuts for this interactive dessert station. You decide what goes on your freshly made doughnut. Just add Raspberry, Chocolate or Salted Caramel Sauce followed by Shortbread Crumbles, Marshmallows, Chocolate Soil, Berry Compote, Crushed Malteaser and Honeycomb. Yummyness in a tub.
