Note to Timmy and Randy - We will not be serving liquor, so don't even.....

:icecream

:heeheehee

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Ooooo, no suggestions just yet but an ice cream sundae bar sounds sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

It does! I'm going to surprise her. I want to do a tiered effect as the main centerpiece with all the candy, nuts, etc. I have some pretty clear vases I'm going to use for that.

Going to also have helium balloons as the centerpieces (3 per table with curled ribbon in her school colors) on the tables. Fun, fun..... Can't wait to see her face when she walks in! :thumbsup

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Very cool idea - bringing in some color. :thumbsup

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

OK.

Brownies work great in sundaes! And I can't think of any way making brownies more "interesting". Nothing comes to mind at all. Nope. How about you, Randy?

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

That's an idea to keep the ice cream cold. I'd like to have something rectangle for the three choices. I suppose they could be using Styrofoam ice chests. :hmmm

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

LOL! Straight up brownies!!!! :thumbsup

Yes, I was thinking of brownies or a Texas Sheet Cake. The cake is easy to make and very easy to cut and serve. Of course brownies are not as moist and would do better with the ice cream. :hmmm

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Crushed Oreo Cookies
Gummy Bears - don't know why someone would want those. LOL!

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

You can rig up little catapults to make serving the ice cream much more fun!

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

If children are going to be there they like gummy bears.

I like the pastel colored mint chips (shaped like chocolate chips) and they have little white perils on the flat side (see largest candy jar in grad party pic I posted yesterday).

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Uh, no, Timmy. Besides, my husband would be there and you don't want to give him anything that sparks the imagination. All the little kids would be dripping with ice cream. I can hear him now - "Cuatro!!!!!!!!" BLOP! :toofunny

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Okay, Gummy Bears it is! LOL!

Thanks for the mint chip idea. I was wanting to do something with mint. That's a great idea and gives more festive color than the chocolate covered mints.

I was reading that you can use ice packs, in the ice, and rock salt to keep the ice frozen longer. But, if I wrapped the styrofoam ice chests with material, it would get wet and continue dripping down to the table. What could I use? I don't want to spend a lot on that item.

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Peanut butter cups
Hot fudge topping
Magic Shell topping

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Yeah, the Magic Shell is always good to have. The wrapped peanut butter cups would look good too! I already had the chocolate topping listed.

Thanks! :thumbsup

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

No, I mean the thick hot fudge topping versus the thin chocolate syrup. :D

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

LOL! I'm going to do the thin chocolate syrup. I have enough going on without a nasty mess with all the kids that will probably show up. LOL!

That reminds me - LOL! The other day someone was asking me a question at church and one of the children was being prayed for. Sooooo, the person is talking and we look at the child realizing we should pray for her. But, we were also in a hurry, soooooo.... I said, "God help that little kid", and then continued explaining what the person was wanting to know. :toofunny

The person said, "Now I know where your son gets that." :toofunny

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Well, fine - forget the hot fudge... whatever! But that is what I would be lookin' for at an ice cream bar. LOL :icecream

TOO FUNNY about what that person said to ya! Hahahahahaha :toofunny (Wondering, though, why you were reminded about that incident...?)

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Well, I am thinking the thinner chocolate will go further. Did you see all the stuff I have to purchase?

I guess when I said "kids" would be there, it reminded me of it. LOL! She had plenty of people praying for her anyway. Where TWO or more are gathered in my name - right? :heeheehee We were standing to the side anyway, so no one heard me.

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Yes, the syrups will go further; that's true. And I did see all the things you have to purchase so I figured, "What's one more?" LOL


Oh! LOL I see. hahaha Yes, where 2/3 are gathered... I suppose you could use that scripture here. :thumbsup

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Right! What's one more thing? LOL!

Yeah, 2/3 would work. :heeheehee

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Well, don't forget the berries. I'm thinkin' that strawberries, blueberries & raspberries would be good. Perhaps cherries as well. And Redi-Whip!!

If I think of anything else for you to buy, I'll let you know. :tiphat

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

:heeheehee :thumbsup

I already listed Redi-Whip (Whipped Cream) and Cherries.

I'm not going to do fresh fruit. Strawberries are very high in pesticides and I am sure not buying organic for a group!

I have an expensive cheesecake recipe. It cost almost $20 to make. I made two for a Christmas banquet - Cherry topping and Blueberry. No one wanted the Blue Berry, so I won't do that and I feel it would be the same for Raspberries. Fruits out. But, I will do a bottled strawberry topping.

Thanks for your suggestions! Going to watch, Narnia The Voyage of The Dawn Treader.

Later gater!

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Catch ya later! :)

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Just a thought......buy those plastic colored table cloths at the dollar store - - they are in all sorts of colors. You could line the cooler and let them fall out all around the outside. Simple, cheap and colorful. The buckets of ice cream would hold it in place - - no taping or anything.

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Great idea! I suppose plastic would be okay since it's a graduation. Think they would sweat though? Anything I used, I could wrap it around the container and keep the ice filled to the top. Even if the white edges showed, it would be okay. Thanks! :thumbsup

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

I wouldn't think it'd sweat at all.

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

I play around with it and see. Thanks!

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

What do you put into a Grasshopper?

Oh yes.

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Of course there will be an ice cream eating contest correct? The kind where the contestants hands are tied behind their backs?

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

No, we might just combine the meal with dessert. :toofunny

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

I think.....that I'm going to go get an ice cream sundae. Baskin Robins perhaps....

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Haven't eaten there in years. I used to like the Coffee flavor the best.

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

Ummmm, straight up brownies!

8 eggs
3 c. white sugar
2 c. brown sugar
3 c. unbleached flour
2 tsp. baking powder

4 tsp. vanilla

15x11x3 pan (greased)

Melt butter and chocolate. Beat eggs until frothy. Slowly add sugars to eggs. Pour in butter and chocolate mixture. Combine dry ingredients. Slowly add to chocolate mixture. When smooth, add vanilla mixing well.

Bake @ 350 for 20 to 24 minutes.

I like this, I don't eat ice cream. But I use to love coffee flavored ice cream. YUMMY

Re: Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?
 

I very seldom eat ice cream, but if I do, it's coffee flavor every time! :thumbsup
