You can always get an additional 25 to 50 cents for each cup with the addition of various topping or ingredients. Again check with you local area to see what toppings are popular in your area. For example, dill pickle juice and cayenne pepper are extremely popular in some parts of Texas but may not be popular in other parts of the country.
Sweet Cream (condensed milk)
Condensed Milk (Sweet Cream) is by far the most popular topping that we sell. After you make a cup of shaved ice, simply pour a good amount over the top. Be careful because it can get very messy. You can also offer a double dose of sweet cream by adding the cream to the middle and to the top of the shaved ice. Prices range from 25 to 50 cent per dose. Check your local grocery store for 14 ounce cans usually found on the baking ingredient aisle. Cost is around $1.40 cent a can. Some stands dilute the sweet cream with evaporated milk. The ratio is usually 2 cans of evaporated milk to one can of condensed milk. You can adjust the ratio as you see needed.
Evaporated Milk
Evaporated milk can be added to your shaved ice as well. We have seen this topping used a variety of ways. The easiest way is to simply pourer the evaporated milk over flavor shaved ice. The added milk gives the shaved ice slightly creamy flavor. Prices range from 25 to 50 cent per dose. Check your local grocery store for 12 ounce cans usually found on the baking ingredient aisle. Cost is around 80 cent a can.
