A milkshake is rarely just milk and ice cream — it's the sauce swirled through it, the syrup flavouring it, and the toppings finishing it off that make a milkshake menu actually sell. For cafés, ice cream vans and milkshake bars, buying those accessories in catering sizes rather than supermarket bottles is where the real cost saving sits, and it's a genuinely different shopping list from the ice cream or the milk itself.
Sauces by the bottle, or by the 6kg tub
The Tas-ty range is built around exactly this scaling problem. A café doing a handful of milkshakes a day can run on the 625g bottles — Chocolate Topping Sauce, Strawberry Topping Sauce and Raspberry Topping Sauce among them — while a busier counter or van is better off stepping up to the 6kg bottles of the same flavours, which bring the per-kilo cost down noticeably. The novelty end of the range covers flavoured milkshakes specifically rather than just classic ice cream pairings: Bubble Topping Sauce and Sour Bubblegum Topping Syrup both lean into the kind of bright, kid-friendly flavour that sells well in a milkshake rather than poured over a scoop.
Dry toppings for finishing the glass
Sauce covers flavour; dry toppings cover presentation. Our Kingsway Salted Caramel Fudge Pieces and Mini Caramel Fudge both come in 1.5kg catering tubs, sized for scattering over milkshakes and sundaes rather than home baking quantities. They sit in the same Ice Cream Supplies collection as our cones and sauces, which is the quickest way to see the full catering-size range in one place.
How this differs from milkshake powder
It's worth separating this from milkshake powder and flavouring syrup for the base drink itself, which we've covered separately in our piece on Nesquik and Crusha. That's about flavouring the milk; this is about the sauces and toppings that go on or in the finished shake — a café is likely to need both, but they're bought from different parts of the shelf and in different formats.
Ordering in catering quantities
Because these are sold as standard stock rather than a special trade line, there's no minimum order or account needed — you can order a single 6kg bottle of sauce to try it, or stock up on the full flavour range at once if you're setting up a milkshake menu from scratch.
