Chocolate Covered Strawberries in Dayton, OH

Dayton is the longest drive we make, and the strawberry station is the one that travels best over that distance.

Dipped at your event

A strawberry station in Dayton

There is nothing to bring up to temperature on arrival. We set up, chill, and start dipping — so a 49-mile trip does not eat into your service window the way a griddle would. Book earlier than you would for an in-city date.

Dayton is about 49 miles north of downtown Cincinnati, in Montgomery County. Fresh strawberries are dipped in premium milk, dark or white chocolate in front of your guests and finished with the toppings they choose — including our Dubai-style pistachio cream with toasted kanafe.

No power needed

The station runs cold. Venues that will not allow cooking equipment will almost always allow this.

No plates, no cutlery

Served in individual cups, so guests can eat while standing and talking.

Getting to you

Booking a Dayton date

The far edge of where we travel — book well ahead.

Travel and setup

A trip this long is where the cold station has the advantage: there is no equipment to bring up to temperature on arrival, so the drive costs you nothing in service time. The fruit travels chilled and is dipped on site.

How far ahead to ask

This needs the most notice of anywhere we serve. Still worth asking on a tight date, but expect fewer open weekends.

Questions

Strawberries in Dayton, answered

Is this a delivery service or a station at our event?

A station at your event. We bring everything to your venue in Dayton and dip the strawberries in front of your guests, so they are eaten within minutes of being made. If you need something different — a tray for a smaller gathering, for instance — ask and we will tell you what we can do.

What do you need from the venue in Dayton?

A table. The strawberry station runs cold, so unlike our griddle it needs no power, no ventilation and no clearance around a hot surface — which is why it works in venues that will not allow cooking equipment.

Which chocolates can we choose in Dayton?

Premium milk, dark and white chocolate, plus our Dubai-style pistachio cream finished with toasted kanafe. Guests pick their toppings at the station rather than getting a fixed tray.

How far in advance should we book?

This needs the most notice of anywhere we serve. Still worth asking on a tight date, but expect fewer open weekends. February books up furthest ahead by a distance — it is the busiest month of the year for chocolate strawberries.
