So I’ve been thinking about wedding desserts today.. I don’t really like cake all that much (meh, frosting). Fiance wants a small cake for us to cut, but otherwise doesn’t care, so here’s what I’m thinking!
I want to do an ice cream “bar” and just get stuff from the grocery store: ice cream sandwiches, those cones with nuts on top, orange push-pops, maybe those little Ben & Jerry’s mini cups of ice cream.. What do you guys think? I have to check with the venue first on this, but I’d assume since it’s okay to bring a wedding cake, it would be okay to bring ice cream.
I liked the idea because it’s more laidback and silly like we are, and it’s a bit of a throwback to our childhoods…and because I really love orange push-pops.
I figured maybe I could talk to HEB (grocery store) and see if they could get a couple of cases of those sort of things together for us so we can just pick them up and take them to our venue.

Yes! Ice cream is my favourite! You should see if you can also get the tiny servings of Haagen Dazs. So good!

Sounds delicious. I actually looked into getting a DQ grooms cake and figured along the same lines – we’re allowed to bring cake, why not icecream cake? They were fine with us having it on site, but said they didn’t have freezer space where it could be stored, and I wasn’t cool with having to have somebody leave the wedding to pick it up.
If you have a way around it melting before you get to enjoy it, I think it’s a great idea!

I think it’s a great idea! If you are having it catered they might be able to get a better price for you, if you live near a costco or sams club you can buy it in larger quantities or even a smart and final- and those don’t require membership.

@Phofe2774: That’s a fantastic idea! I have an extra member’s card to Sam’s Club under my mom’s membership and I didn’t even think of that! Thank you so much 🙂

A lot venues where I am, offer an ice cream bar, as a package option. It’s common here and VERY delish!
