Questions and answers

Common Questions About Café Sundaes

How did the ice cream sundae get its name?
Historical accounts suggest that shop owners created syrup-topped ice cream as a Sunday alternative to carbonated soda fountain drinks, eventually altering the spelling to sundae.
Why are sundaes usually served in tall glass dishes?
Tall clear glasses showcase the distinct layers of ice cream, syrups, and toppings, creating an appetizing visual presentation before the dessert is eaten.
What keeps dessert sauces thick on cold ice cream?
Cold temperatures from the ice cream cause warm chocolate or caramel toppings to cool rapidly, increasing their viscosity so they coat the scoops.
