There's a big difference between a franchise snow cone and authentic hand-crafted shave ice. Snow Stars owner Ramon Vela makes every batch from scratch — from the ice blocks to the syrups — because quality is something you can taste.
What We Do
Not All Shave Ice Is Created Equal
Hand-Shaved Block Ice
We shave our own ice blocks using a traditional shaver for that soft, fluffy, snow-like texture you can't get from a machine that crushes ice.
Fresh-Cut Fruit & Toppings
When you order fruit toppings, we pick and cut the fruit ourselves. Nothing comes from a can or a squeeze bottle.
100% Raw Cane Sugar Syrups
We mix our own syrups in-house using pure cane sugar. No corn syrup, no artificial sweeteners, no shortcuts.
Locally Owned Family Business

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Shaved Ice Catering
Snow cones use crushed ice that's chunky and crunchy. Shaved ice is shaved from solid ice blocks into a soft, fluffy, snow-like texture that absorbs the syrup evenly. The difference in taste and texture is immediately noticeable - shaved ice melts on your tongue like fresh snow.
We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially during peak season from May through September. Popular dates like holiday weekends and graduation season fill up fast. The earlier you reach out, the better chance we can secure your preferred date.
Yes. Snow Stars now offers indoor event catering year-round. We bring everything we need to set up inside your venue, office, or community space. Shaved ice is a hit at holiday parties, indoor school events, and winter corporate gatherings.
We offer three packages to fit your event. Our Rising Star package covers up to 50 guests, Superstar handles up to 100 guests, and Mega Star serves up to 150 guests. For events larger than 150 people, contact us for a custom quote.
Our shave ice is dairy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free by default. We use 100% pure cane sugar syrups with no artificial colors or sweeteners. For guests with specific allergies or concerns, we're happy to discuss ingredient details before your event.
