A Twist on Tradition: The History of Soft Serve
Over Memorial Day weekend of 1934, Tom Carvel, the founder of the Carvel brand and franchise, suffered a flat tire in his ice cream truck in Hartsdale, New York. He pulled into a parking lot and began selling his melting ice cream to vacationers driving by. Within two days he had sold his entire supply of ice cream and concluded that both a fixed location and soft (as opposed to hard) frozen desserts were potentially good business ideas.
Dairy Queen also claims to have invented soft serve. In 1938, near Moline, Illinois, J.F. McCullough and his son, Alex, developed their soft serve formula.Their first sales experiment was August 4, 1938, in Kankakee, Illinois at the store of theirfriend, Sherb Noble.

Snow Cones during the Industrial Revolution
In the 1850s the American Industrial Revolution made ice commercially available. Ice houses in New York would commonly sell ice to places like Florida. To transport the ice to Florida, the ice houses would send a wagon with a huge block of ice south. The route to Florida would pass right through Baltimore. In Baltimore, children would run up to the wagon and ask for a small scraping of ice. Before long, mothers started to make flavoring in anticipation of their child receiving some ice. The first flavor these mothers made was a current Baltimore favorite: egg custard. Egg custard was an easy flavor to make as all that was in it was eggs, vanilla and sugar.
Snow Cones during the Great Depression and World War II
During the Great Depression and World War II, snowballs came to be available outside of Baltimore. As snowballs were so cheap, they were one of the few treats that people could afford. This inexpensiveness earned snowballs the nicknames “Hard Times Sundae” and “Penny Sundae”. People in need of a job would sell snowballs as it required little overhead. The treat became more popular during World War II, when all available ice cream was sent to soldiers, creating a need for an icy treat. This new found lack of competition helped snowballs became popular across the country.
In Hawaii, “shave ice” is similar to snowballs, and is sold in cone-shaped paper cups. “Rainbow,” a popular flavor, consists of three colors of syrup chosen usually for their color rather than their taste compatibility. Commonly, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or sweetened azuki beans is first added to the bottom of the cup and is capped with condensed milk
Our fudge is made in-house. We use high quality ingredients in the process of making. All of our flavors are made with real butter and cream.
Every week we change some of the flavors and offer some new flavor.Not all of the flavors listed below are available through the season.

Fudge History
American-style fudge is discovered in a short letter written by Emelyn Battersby Hartridge, who was a student at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. She wrote that her schoolmate’s cousin made fudge in Baltimore, Maryland. Hartridge obtained the fudge recipe and, in 1888, made fudge for the Vassar College Senior Auction. This recipe became quite popular at the school for years to come.
Word of this popular confectionery spread to other women’s colleges.
In the late 19th century, shops on Mackinac Island in Michigan began to produce similar products for summer vacationers.
