JULY IS ICE CREAM MONTH - SUNDAE BAR 🍨

Summer is here and an outdoor sundae bar goes perfectly with hot weather!  By being outside, family and friends can still have small gatherings and practice social distancing as we overcome this crazy time.  There’s so much life happening during the summer like graduations, engagement parties, birthday parties, and other important milestones that call for a sundae celebration.  Half the décor is done when you use beautiful partyware from Fineline Settings to display the food.  A sherbet sundae bar is not only tasty, but the delicious colors are perfect for a summer party!

For the table, I used a light yellow tablecloth to compliment the sherbet colors.  To make it more inviting and fun, I used a “sundae bar” garland across the front.  I also was lucky to have a florist handpick fresh sherbet colored peonies to make the table extra special.

Then, I stacked three white cake stands in various sizes to create a beautiful tiered display.  I like the versatility of using the cake stands alone or stacking them.  It was the perfect way to serve the ice cream and sugar cones. 

To keep the sherbet cold, I filled the bottom of three frosted buckets with ice and placed a sherbet container inside each one.  Once they were inside, I filled up the sides with more ice to keep the sherbet from melting too fast in the hot sun.    

I used different containers to display the toppings based on their consistency and texture.  The rolled cookies are great for dipping in the sherbet, so I spiraled them in a trifle bowl for anyone who wanted an edible spoon.  I also used gravy boats to serve pineapple, caramel, and strawberry sauces for easy pouring. 

Below the ice cream cones, I used a sectioned white tray to add more toppings like cherries, white chocolate curls, and colorful gummy bears.  In the center, I used a white tray to display a variety of cookies and on the left, I used another white tray to display fresh chopped fruit.  To help with serving, I used a white scoop for the toppings in the sectioned tray and white tongs for the cookie and fruit trays.  

I also used a bar cart styled with a small sprinkle balloon garland to make the table more festive.  It was a great place to add cute dessert cups and spoons for anyone who may not want a cone. The bar cart was also a great place to serve pre-made sundae cups.  The end result is a vibrant and refreshing sundae bar, perfect for a outdoor celebration!

As life gradually returns to normal, I hope we can all find time to celebrate the important moments with a summery sundae bar!  With quality party goods from Fineline Settings, entertaining is made easier.  All there is to do is assemble the ingredients into the containers and enjoy.  Have fun celebrating the graduations, birthday parties, or special milestones while you safely social distance outside!

Happy 4th of July, Friends!!!

Two hundred thirty-eight years ago our country celebrated the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Our forefather, John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail on July 3^rd saying, “The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America…” he was ‘apt to believe’ that July 2^nd would be celebrated by following generations forever more as the anniversary of our infant nation.

Sure, he was off by two days, but he was right on the money in regards to Independence Day becoming a holiday acknowledged by every citizen of this country for over two centuries since. 

John Adams also said that Independence Day should be a day celebrated with ‘pomp, and parade’ and the people of this great Nation took that idea and flew with it!

Fineline Settings has been giddy to talk about this holiday because, let’s admit it… there are very few parties that are as fun as good ole Independence Day and as always, it’s our mission to help you make your upcoming celebration as spectacular as the evening fireworks show! 

So, let’s party like it is 1776 but keep a modern twist with the luxury of premium plastic tableware!

Serve up those burgers with one of our Platter Pleaser Spatulas, or on one of our Thermoform Trays; with their simplistically chic and sturdy design, your burgers will always arrive in style no matter the theme of your event!

While you enjoy that corn on the cob, shake up the fun with one of our Quenchers Neon Shakers; and send your guests firing up into the sky like a firework as you pour their drink of choice into one of our Shooters, also from the Quenchers collection!

With so many collections to choose from, your reputation as a party planner will be recalled for generations to come as the Thomas Jefferson of event planning; and the mark that you will leave on your guests will be as indelible as John Hancock’s on the Declaration of Independence.

Classic Americana cannot be referenced without our minds drifting to Cracker Jack! Just saying it brings us back to an America where families spent summers at Coney Island and Baseball games. A time where every citizen celebrated being patriots every day of their lives.

Jennifer, a mom of multiples and KaB poster, was kind enough to share her recipe for Sugar Cookie Bars. Not only are they easy, but they are absolutely unforgettable and will become a new favorite for years to come! Not to mention they look fabulous on a Platter Pleaser Cake Stand!
