Ordering dessert for a crowd can be tricky. Order too little and the last guests miss out; order too much and your freezer is full for a month. Here's a simple way to plan gelato for your next party in Vaughan or the GTA.
The quick rule of thumb
A typical scoop of gelato is roughly 100 ml. That means a 5-litre gelato tub serves around 50+ guests. If gelato is the only dessert, plan on one tub per 50 people. If it's served alongside cake, one tub stretches even further.
Pick the right format for your event
- Large parties, weddings and corporate events (50+ guests): a 5-litre gelato tub in one crowd-pleasing flavour. For variety, order two tubs in different flavours.
- Kids' parties, classrooms and office treats: a gelato box of 9 or 18 individual cups. No scooping needed, and everyone gets their own.
- Birthdays and celebrations with a centrepiece: a 10" x 14" rectangle gelato cake, our largest cake, made with up to 2 flavours.
Tips for serving gelato at a party
- Keep gelato in the freezer until about 10 minutes before serving so it softens to the perfect scooping texture.
- Dip your scoop in warm water between servings for clean scoops.
- Choose at least one classic flavour (vanilla or chocolate) to keep picky eaters happy.
