Glenburn Soda Fountain & Confectionery: Build Your Own Dessert in a Box

Glenburn Soda Fountain has found ways to innovate during the Covid-19 crisis. With dining rooms closed, they really worked fast to keep customers supplied with their delicious treats. I was very impressed that they listened to customers to see what they would want during this time.

They have their regular menu for delivery on Skip the Dishes.

They are currently offering a few limited features for curbside pick up.

• Build Your Own Sundae Box
• Float Pack for 2
• Take Home Pints
• Pop Shoppe Soda
• Callister Soda
• DIY Banana Split Kit

In a span of 2 weeks, our team ordered the Build Your Own Sundae Box, Float Pack for 2, and the DIY Banana Split Kit.

These items are very customizable. You order it in the morning and then it is available for pick up from 4-6pm. Things do change quickly, so make sure you follow Glenburn on social media to see what the latest offers and prices of their different kits.

Build Your Own Sundae Box

It was a Friday, so the end the week off right, we decided to get one for our family. We were able to pick it up with no issues. The packaging is quite nice and easy to carry back home.

We got our sundae kit with strawberry marble ice cream, chocolate ice cream, pretzels, cookie crumbs, almonds, and their hot fudge. It’s very customizable, so next time, we will definitely add brownies into our box.

We had fun layering the toppings with the ice cream. Such a fun activity to end the day with the family. A real treat that we highly recommend. Easily feeds 4 people but we had 7 adults sharing this and had a little nite each. With the leftover hot fudge, we made mochas for the rest of the week.

Float Pack for 2

The float pack comes with cups, straws, vanilla ice cream, and your choice of 2 Pop Shoppe beverages. We went with Black Cherry and Root Beer. Two very classic flavours.

Once you bring it home, just pour the soda right into the cups. Its pretty big, so you can easily turn this into 4 smaller portions as there are 4 scoops of ice cream.

DIY Banana Split Kit

I haven’t had a banana split since 2018 and I was really excited to have it again. Their Banana Spit Kit comes with all the staples that you need to make 2 delicious and beautiful banana splits at home.

The kit includes:

• 2 banana split boats
• 2 bananas
• 3 – 12oz tubs of ice cream – chocolate, vanilla and strawberry
• 3 – 3 oz tubs of sauce – hot fudge, strawberry and pineapple
• 1 canister of whipped cream
• Your choice of walnuts or sprinkles
• 3 cherries

It was fun to make together with the family and we had debates about how to make the perfect banana split. They did put together a video on Facebook on how to create perfect banana split, but we don’t follow instructions and go with the flow.

Final Thoughts

I love these fun dessert kits where you can make them at home with your family. It’s a perfect thing for the end of the week and just have fun. Sundae in a box was my favourite kit, but you can’t go wrong with any of them.

Follow them on Facebook or Instagram to see what they are offering daily as these kits may change over time.

I love supporting local small businesses during this pandemic in any way I can. If you are looking for a sweet treat and looking for a way to support Glenburn, I highly recommend it.
