Space & Access
What Our Setup Needs
Our truck keeps a compact footprint of about 20-40ft of curb or lot space, while our trailer setup — a growing favorite for its ability to detach and maneuver into tighter spots — runs closer to 50-60ft. Either way, we just need a reasonably flat, clear space to park and start scooping up dessert. Our team arrives 30-60 minutes ahead of service to get situated, since mobile means we're always working around a little traffic.

Add-Ons & Options
- Dietary needs: Just tell us before we arrive — we'll work with gluten-free and dairy-free requests where we can.
- Menu focus for big rushes: For larger events, we recommend narrowing to 3 or fewer dessert styles so the line keeps moving fast.
- Multiple serving stations: Bigger guest counts mean more serving stations, so everyone still gets served quickly.
- Travel beyond the metro: We'll travel to you — events farther from a metro area may include a travel fee.

Quick Answers Before You Request a Quote
How do I book you?
Booking is simple - just head online to reserve your date! And if you have any questions along the way, we'd love to chat with you over the phone about our service. Just keep in mind that quotes are handled through email only, so we won't be able to share pricing over the phone.
How do I check if my date is available?
Just pop over to our website and fill out our form—that's the sweetest way to check! We've got multiple trucks and cuisines ready to bring the fun, so don't be shy about reaching out!
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
All cancellation and reschedule policies can be found in our booking terms linked in the footer of our website. You'll also get a copy with your catering agreement when you book.
Can the serving time change after I book?
Sweet question! Sometimes yes, sometimes no. We make commitments to other parties based on our commitment to you, so if your proposed time change would conflict with another party we already committed to based on our original commitment with you, we wouldn't be able to make the change.
