Wedding ice cream catering in San Diego

Looking for ice cream caterers for a San Diego wedding? The Frosty Cone brings a mobile New Zealand–style real fruit ice cream stand to venues across San Diego County and Southern California. Guests choose dairy or plant-based vanilla; we blend whole frozen fruit to order into a soft swirl in a waffle cone or cup. Contact [email protected] or use our booking form.

Why couples book real fruit ice cream

NZ-style real fruit ice cream is an interactive dessert: guests pick fruit blends and watch the swirl made to order. It works for cocktail hour, as a cake alternative, or as a late-night sweet. Unlike a scoop-shop truck of pre-packed treats, each serving starts with ice cream base plus whole frozen fruit blended on site.

Guest-count & serving basics

• About 6 oz of ice cream per serving (two 3 oz scoops), plus ~ 45 g fruit.
• A 3-gallon tub of ice cream base yields about 64 servings for planning.
• Market reference prices: dairy typically $9, plant-based typically $10 — weddings are quoted for your date, venue, and headcount.
• Vessel is a waffle cone or cup (not both on one order).

Dairy, plant-based, and allergens

We offer classic dairy vanilla and a plant-based vanilla base. You can request one style or a mix for your guest list. Bases share the same swirl equipment — tell us if anyone needs a strict dairy-free plan so we can advise honestly before the day.

How to book

1. Send wedding date, venue or neighborhood, approximate guest count, and dairy vs plant-based preference.
2. Note reception timing (dessert window) and any venue constraints (power, shade, load-in).
3. We reply with availability and a quote. A message is not a confirmed booking until The Frosty Cone confirms details with you.
