On a Serving Tray

Haven't you heard? Ice cream and cake make a perfect pair -- especially when there's wedding cake involved. We looked to some beautiful real weddings to uncover the best ice cream-serving inspiration. From waiters passing cones, to throw-back ice cream carts, there are so many ways to get creative with this refreshing dessert.

Don't limit your passed bites to appetizers -- get some dessert in on the action. Not only is it convenient for guests to snag a treat while the attendants are making rounds through the reception, but it keeps energy levels up even toward the end of the night.

A sundae bar guarantees there will be something for everyone. Opt for the traditional toppings like candies and cookie crumbs, but if you really want to impress, set out a few unexpected options like candied bacon, nut brittle, or champagne-soaked strawberries.

In A Self Serve Cart

Not only are ice cream sandwiches a total crowd pleaser, but it's a great treat to source locally. Reach out to your favorite neighborhood baker for a few batches of different types of cookies, and a corner-store creamery for a few flavors of ice cream. Then let guests customize their own cookie sandwich!

As A Retro Milkshake

That's right, go old school. Load up one of these old fashioned carts with a few different selections of ice cream favorites (think: chocolate eclairs, bomb pops, screwballs and popsicles). Guests can choose exactly what they like without the need of an attendant to man the station.

In Your Cocktails

What's more fun than a retro strawberry milkshake or an overflowing root beer float? Even better -- when they're served in old-fashion milk bottles with festive straws. Bonus: guests can sip these sweet treats with one hand.

Nestled in Cake

Don't worry -- we didn't forget about the booze. Jazz up your signature sip with a refreshing scoop of sorbet for a unique and delicious cocktail hour treat. Garnish with a sprig of mint and you'll have a show-stopping refreshment!

Okay, we know we already showed ice cream cones being passed on a tray, but this hack is genius. If you can't find serving trays that fit the shape of your cones, sculpt one out of cake. Bravo!
