Build Your Own Sundae

What a build your own sundae is

A build your own sundae is a customizable dessert where you select each component: ice cream flavor, scoop count, a sauce or two, toppings such as nuts or cookie pieces, and the serving vessel. We combine super premium, chunky, swirly flavors with texture forward mix ins so each sundae is both a taste and a tactile experience.

At Brooker's Founding Flavors Ice Cream we bring an American Revolution theme to the experience, and our costumed team stages each order with care to highlight chunky mix ins and swirls. You pick the parts, we do the craft of assembly and finishing touches.

Why building your own sundae matters in Bluffdale

Custom sundaes let you match dessert to the occasion, dietary needs and appetites. In Bluffdale and nearby communities like Draper, Riverton and South Jordan, families and groups often seek a relaxed place to celebrate milestones and pick up party cakes. A do it yourself approach at the counter gives hands on choice while still getting professional presentation and ingredient quality.

For event planners and hosts, a build your own sundae option reduces waste, keeps guests happy with variety, and makes it easier to accommodate kids and adults with different tastes. We support these occasions with both sundae service and custom cakes when you need a centerpiece dessert.

Key concepts to know before you build

• Base selection. Choose from our super premium ice cream flavors. We feature chunky mix ins and swirls for extra texture.
• Scoop count. A single scoop suits a child, two scoops is standard for most adults, and three or more works for sharing or indulgent portions.
• Vessel choices. Cups, cones and waffle bowls change how a sundae eats and looks. Waffle bowls add crunch and make sauces stand out.
• Sauces and swirls. Hot fudge, caramel and fruit swirls complement scoops and highlight mix ins.
• Toppings and mix ins. Cookie pieces, chocolate chunks and toasted nuts add texture. We emphasize chunky, swirly ingredients for contrast.
• Allergies and preferences. Tell us about allergies, dairy preferences or texture concerns so we can suggest suitable options.

How to choose scoops, sauces and portions

1. Decide the occasion. For a quick treat pick one or two scoops. For birthday guests or sharing, plan two to three scoops per person or create a shareable sundae served in a waffle bowl.
2. Pick a flavor profile. Match sauces to ice cream. Rich chocolate ice cream pairs well with salted caramel, while fruit swirls brighten cream bases.
3. Add a mix in for texture. Chunky items like cookie dough, candied nuts or brownie pieces add chew and contrast.
4. Choose a vessel. A cup is portable, a waffle bowl adds crunch, and a cone gives a handheld experience. For events, waffle bowls photograph well and feel substantial.
5. Finish with garnish. Fresh fruit, whipped cream or a cherry add color and a final flavor note.

Toppings, mix ins and presentation ideas

Our approach favors bold textures. Think mix ins folded through the base rather than sprinkled on top, so every spoonful has mixup and surprise. Common topping categories include:

• Crunchy: toasted nuts, honeycomb, cookie crisps
• Chewy: brownie bits, candied fruit, cookie dough
• Sauces: hot fudge, butterscotch, berry swirl
• Fresh: sliced banana, berries, mint for contrast
• Fun extras: sprinkles, waffle pieces, mini candies for kids

Presentation tips: layer sauces between scoops for visual impact, finish with a sprinkle or a tidy drizzle, and use a waffle bowl when you want an eye catching result. For event pickups, we prepare sundaes and components so assembly is fast and neat.

Common questions about building a sundae

We answer the most frequent questions here so you know what to expect when you visit or plan a pickup.

Can you accommodate allergies or dietary restrictions?

Yes. Tell us about nut allergies, dairy sensitivities or other needs and we will point to suitable options and label items clearly. For dairy free or vegan options check our Dairy Free Options topic for details on what we can offer.

What vessel should I pick for a party?

For parties, waffle bowls are a crowd pleasing option because they hold sauces and photograph well. Cups are easiest for take away and quick service. Read more about cone and cup choices on our Cone And Cup Choices topic.

How much does a build your own sundae serve?
