How do you create an ice cream sundae bar?

An ice cream bar doesn’t have to be complicated. It can vary from just a few tasty toppings to something more elaborate. And with these cute ice cream bar printables, it can even double as summer decor!

If you’re wanting to create your own ice cream sundae bar, here are a few simple tips to put one together…

Pick a spot.

Choose where you would like to set up your ice cream sundae bar. Smaller ice cream bars can be set up on a tray, tiered tray, or corner of your kitchen. For larger ice cream bars use a small table or bar cart. You can display toppings on cake stands to keep drips to a minimum.

Grab your ice cream.

If you’re going to be doing a lot of ice cream toppings, stick with more basic ice cream flavors such as vanilla or chocolate so the ice cream doesn’t complete with all of the flavor toppings. You’ll roughly want approximately 1 1/2 cups of ice cream per person. The 1.12 gallon tubs should serve at least 10-12 people and still give you some room for seconds.

Scoop it up.

There are lots of ways that you can serve up ice cream. A good ice cream scooper is a must for any ice cream lover. Here are a few ways to make serving your ice cream a little easier.

scoop different flavors into large, wide-mouth mason jars and place them in a party bucket with ice to keep cool.
pre-scoop the ice cream and place the scoops on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep covered in the freezer or place in an insulated tub until ready to serve. Place the scoops in large bowls by flavor.
Keep a mason jar with warm water for your ice cream scooper. The warm water makes the ice cream easier to scoop and also allows the ice cream to be washed off if scooping different flavors.
Make sure you have napkins or hand towels near by to wipe up any messes.

Choose your serving presentation.

You can serve your ice cream in cones, waffle bowls, plastic bowls, or even cups. For an extra touch, you can dip your cones or waffle bowls in melted chocolate and top with sprinkles. To make your cones a little cuter, wrap them in these free printable ice cream cone wrappers.

Add the toppings.

This is the fun part! There are SO many options for toppings. Use what you have on hand to create some custom sundae flavors or stick with the classics. Set out your toppings in mason jars, small bowls, or cups. I like the mason jars since you can just screw on a lid for storage afterwards. If your sauces don’t come in a squirt bottle, you can serve them in icing bottles or place them in a bowl with a spoon.

Dress it Up.

To make your ice cream bar a little cuter, use these free ice cream bar printables to dress it up a bit. There are lots of different ways that you can use them to create your own custom creation.

Ice Cream Bar Labels

These cute labels add a pretty touch to any ice cream bar. Just download them, print, and trim with a paper cutter. I find it easiest to trim the bottom and sides first. Then fold the label over the top of the label and trim the bottom to match. I have a few different sheets of labels or you can download a blank one to fill in your own. If you’d like to use the same font, I used Summer Lemonade.

Ice Cream Bar Mason Jar Tags

If you want frequent access to your ice cream sundae bar toppings, keep them stored in a mason jar. It will keep them fresh while still providing easy access. With these cute printable mason jar tags, you can even use them as part of your summer decor. Just place them on a tray to keep everything corralled together. I made a blank version of these as well in case you come up with your own toppings.

To use, download, print, and cut out the tags. I use a circle punch to make it easier, but you can just trim with scissors too. Punch a hole in the top and tie them to the top of a mason jar wth baker’s twine or thin ribbon.

Ice Cream Cone Wrappers

Ice cream cone wrappers add a cute touch to your ice cream bar. These wrappers were ideally made for the regular sized sugar cones but may fit some waffle cones depending on the size. You could also try adjusting the printing size as well if you have a larger waffle cone.

To make, just download the printable, print it out and cut. Use a little double sided tape on one end of the wrapper, wrap around the cone and secure the ends together. I have two designs for you to choose from – one with polka-dots and one with ice cream cones. Or do a mix of both!
