Over the years we have had the privilege of working with some cool companies and big brands to bring iceblocks to events, activations and functions. Here is a snapshot of our customised sticks and iceblocks.

Revlon Kiss Cushion Lip Tint to match four available shades from the range with branded sticks delivered to Gold Coast and Sydney for activation. Gorgeous darling! ​

Good times devoured as FoxFM 101.9 in Melbourne gave away a two tone lemonade iceblock with branded bags and customised sticks. 

A stunning success at the QueensPlaza celebrated the launch of the AW16 fashion parade giving away Frozen Sunshine's delicious lemonade iceblocks. 

So much fun at the Cotton On iceblock giveaway which included an extra surprise on each customised stick! Free gift, 30% off and save $10. 

It was a pretty pink hit for the Sunshine Plaza grand opening giving away Frozen Sunshine Iceblocks in the pink Kombi and branded carts. They targeted five beaches in two days to draw the audience into the Plaza....

Merv and Marilyn are great farmers for many reasons, in the early days farming was about helping out your neighbours and the community and that hasn't changed. These are our top reasons we love Taste ‘N See strawberries;

🍓 Quality is number one, they only sell quality first grade fruit
🍓 Strong connection to family, staff and their community 
🍓 Staff are their backbone, with 60% of workers living locally and returning each season
🍓 They are pioneering new raised strawberry bed technology to continually improve their fruit and environmental practices

Taste ‘N See strawberries are situated on 50 acres south of the Sunshine Coast producing quality strawberries for 45 years. Now run predominately by three sisters Tracey, Sam and Laura who joke about being made in a strawberry patch said you learn a lot in 45 years "if you want quality you have to pay for it". 

The Royal Queensland Food & Wine Show (RQFWS) had its first competition in 1876 and ever since it has recognised the finest food products available to consumers in Queensland. ​Australia’s most respected and experienced food industry professionals judge products at the highest level. The products are judged on their flavour, aroma, body, texture and presentation.

Our iceblocks have never fit neatly into the mould of the Ice Cream, Gelato & Sorbet awards at the show until this year, with the inaugural multi-pack category being open for single serve multi-packs both dairy and non-dairy, 🎉 ​YAY. So we entered all four of our multi packs - Strawberry, Chocolate, Mango Swirl & Cookie Crumble. 

To our delight our Strawberry multi-pack was awarded a SILVER medal, while Chocolate, Cookie Crumble and Mango Swirl were awarded BRONZE medals. 

We were so excited our Strawberry iceblock received silver and here's why:

• The strawberries are picked fresh off the plant from our local friends at Taste ‘n See strawberry farm.
• Taste 'n See have 40 years experience in growing quality strawberries over 38 hectares.
• Fresh from the farm we hull the strawberries in our factory and blend it with coconut milk and vanilla bean.

​Nothing compares to our Strawberry iceblock, its berry delicious. (Read more strawberry info here: http://www.frozensunshine.com.au/strawberry.html )

We are fuelled by passion for quality, hand crafting iceblocks that scream flavour. L👀K out for our multi-packs in IGA and participating stores. To find your nearest stockist visit: http://www.frozensunshine.com.au/where-to-buy.html.

​From our family to yours we hope you enjoy a little Frozen Sunshine. 

Its Food Allergy Awareness week and we get it, having food allergies is a drag even life threatening! But one thing that isn't a drag, is our iceblocks. We often receive messages from people with food allergies who are 𝗲𝗰𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 they can enjoy our iceblocks. 🤪 We've shared some of these below.

These include:
1. Cows milk
2. Eggs
3. Fish
4. Peanuts
5. Sesame
6. Shellfish
7. Soy
8. Tree nuts
9. Wheat

Whilst we understand the difficulties of having food allergies and food sensitivities, there is some good news!  Frozen Sunshine iceblocks have ⛔
✅ No cows milk
✅ No egg
✅ No wheat
✅ No nuts
✅ No sesame
✅ No fish 😆

Thats 8 out of 9 foods that cause the majority of reactions. ❤️ 

May contain soy. The chocolate we use in our Chocolate and Cookie Crumble iceblocks is top quality Belgian chocolate containing 70% cocoa solids. It is dairy and nut free but it does contain the emulsifier "Soya Lecithin". Although we have separate equipment for preparing the mixes containing chocolate and take care when cleaning down the moulds, there is a chance that traces of the allergen may remain. As a result all other flavours are labelled "May contain soybeans" because we use the same moulds for all iceblocks in our range. Be sure to visit our flavours page for the full list of ingredients

Half a million Aussies have a diagnosed food allergy? That's alot!

We’ve all been guilty of a self-diagnosis on the Internet. But if you suspect you have a food allergy, it’s important to consult your general practitioner (GP).

We love your messages and handcrafting iceblocks you can enjoy so keep your stories coming we'd love to hear from you.

Are you visiting Noosa this weekend for the Noosa Food & Wine Festival? Whilst you're in town check out 3 of our favourite foodie destinations. ​

One of Noosa's hidden gems, you can find Providore on Hastings below Netanya Noosa just down from the surf club at 75 Hastings St, Noosa Heads.

​Tucked away in Noosa's industrial precinct you'll find Belmondos Organic Market, encompassing Bioshop Noosa, Tanglewood Organic Sourdough Bakery, Vanilla Food, and Clandestino Roasters.

​Okay Sunny Coasters, gear the kids up for these five adventures in five weeks challenge… It's easy to get them off the screen, out of the house and into the sun for outdoor fun! Setting a challenge can improve skills and conquer fears in a supportive environment. So pack the essentials and head to these great spots where you can reward the family with a Frozen Sunshine iceblock at the end of the challenge.

Stockland’s Aura estate has five innovative parks to explore, all accessible and interconnected by bike paths. These interactive parks are a favourite among the kids and exploring more than one is an exciting adventure.  The challenge is to ride to each park! IGA Baringa on 1 Edwards Terrace stocks your delicious Frozen Sunshine iceblock treat. ​

​Let’s be honest, we live on the magnificent Sunshine Coast for our pristine beaches, but often we don’t enjoy the sand and surf as much as we should! Your challenge is to get to the beach and explore these great water activities…. Kings Beach in Caloundra has it all:

• Kings beach a great swim location protected from volatile swell.
• Investigate rock pools
• Swim in the tidal pool
• Finish the day with fountain play

Opposite the fountain is Frocals located on the corner of Ormonde Terrace & De Vene Avenue where the local produce is fresh and the is coffee hot! Best of all, crowd favourite Frozen Sunshine iceblocks are available for good children. Be sure to quiz the kids about their favourite water activity and why.

Step back in time on the Mary Valley Rattler and delve into our local history, with the railway that started before the Gympie gold rush! This challenge is more scenic than physical so it’s a perfect outing for the whole family. Grab a Frozen Sunshine iceblock from the café before you board, then sit back and reflect on how different life was in the past when it was slower but more labour intensive. The Mary Valley Rattler is a non-profit organisation that runs Wednesdays to  Sundays, be sure to check their timetable. This is a great half-day activity, alternatively make it a full day and spend the other half at Lake Alford Park, home to the Gold Museum, bird park and playground.

Your challenge is to show up, participate, conquer your fears and get your adrenaline racing. Actually, its not that complicated all you have to do is show up and the rest will happen. There are five courses to tackle with 100 epic challenges suspending in rainforest. TreeTop Challenge is located at the Big Pineapple so take a selfie in front of this Aussie icon and choose your favourite Frozen Sunshine iceblock from the Montville Coffee cafe. 

​This interactive water and skate park challenge is simple and won’t break the bank! Rock up, get wet and have a laugh, followed by some gnarly scooter or skateboard activity in the adjacent park. For lunch, head to neighbouring Noosa Marina and grab Fish and Chips and a Frozen Sunshine gourmet iceblock of course.
