Select a clean, sturdy table or counter for your sundae bar. Make enough space for bowls, ice cream, sauces and toppings. A large tray can help keep smaller ingredients organized.

Wash and slice the strawberries and bananas. Chop the peanuts and crush the cookies if needed. Place each topping into its own small serving bowl for easy access.

Pour the chocolate and caramel sauces into small bowls or squeeze containers. Keep them near the ice cream. Warm chocolate sauce should be served gently warm, not hot.

Place the ice cream containers in an ice-filled serving dish. This helps keep the ice cream cold while everyone serves themselves. Offer several flavors for different tastes.

Place whipped cream near the toppings. You can use homemade or store-bought whipped cream. Keep it chilled until serving time for the best texture and freshness.

Add sprinkles, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, crushed cookies and coconut to separate bowls. Arrange them in an attractive order. This makes the sundae station colorful and easy to use.

Place the sliced strawberries and bananas beside the other toppings. Fresh fruit adds bright color and freshness. It also gives guests a lighter topping option for their sundaes.

Give each guest a bowl and spoon. Let them choose their favorite ice cream and toppings. Encourage everyone to try different combinations and create their own perfect sundae.
