Fraser’s floats is a family business built on the lore of our Scottish ancestry when Magnus Irvine of Shetland married the niece of “the red fox” Catherine Fraser. Fraser, from the French word for strawberry, and a clan known to the Scots as a formidable family, holds the motto of “Je Suis Pret” (I am ready). Irvine carries the family motto of “Sub Sol Sub Umbra Virens,” (Flourishing both in sunshine and in shade). Magnus flourished for 100 years (1818-1918) and had seven children. His great-granddaughter, Eunice Irvine, began the family’s concessions business, selling floats at fairs and events in the mid-1900s to feed her family of 10. Eunice’s granddaughter and third generation in the concession world, Vicki Irvine Volkman, has thoughtfully built her concession businesses, Fraser’s Floats and St. Petersburg Shortcake, with a nod to family, fun, and food.  

Fraser Floats has three core values: Be Authentic, Serve Everyone a Little Sunshine, and Leave as Little Waste as Possible. 

Fraser’s Floats is more than sweet treats, it is an unforgettable experience. Whether you are watching us dip ice cream at a festival, or making your own signature ice cream treats with us at your private event, we will leave you with a bit of sunshine.

There are three primary ways to get your hands on some Fraser treats. 

Fraser in the Wild is Fraser Floats’ public event calendar. Check our Instagram and Facebook [@fraserfloat] for current booked events. 

Fraser To Go is our storefront where you can purchase bonbons, shortcake jars, and other ice cream treats in advance, and we will coordinate pickup times. 

Fraser I Dip, You Dip, We Dip is our catering for private functions. Since we prepare most of our treats in the commercial kitchen before we arrive, we can serve large parties without long wait times. If you have a small gathering and would like an interactive experience of dipping your own ice cream bonbons, we can arrange for a joyful demonstration and customized flavor options. 

Fraser Floats, Bonbons, and bars are made with Hand-dipped Super Premium Vanilla Ice Cream and responsibly sourced Belgian Chocolate.

We top each item by hand with select fan favorites. Choose our favorites or choose your own favorite toppings to make your event one of a kind. We will dip for you, or teach you and your guests to dip your own for a fully immersive experience.

We can’t wait to bring small bites and big joy to your event! Book us today.
