In addition to their franchised locations,
FOCUS Brands' Celebration Foods division
produces ice cream cakes for supermarket sales.
Celebration Foods has distribution reaching over 49 states
in close to 9,500 supermarkets, super centers,
and club stores, however, the franchised store
is the only place you can purchase a freshly made Carvel cake!

Carvel was founded and run by Tom Carvel for its first 60 years.
In 1929, Tom Carvel built and began operating a frozen custard trailer.
For Memorial Day weekend of 1934,
Carvel borrowed $15 from his future wife Agnes
to buy a load of frozen custard to sell to holiday vacationers.

When the truck suffered a flat tire in Hartsdale, New York,
Carvel started selling his custard at the site of the breakdown,
the parking lot of a pottery store.
Within two days, his entire stock, much of it partly melted,
had been sold, and Carvel realized that both a fixed location and soft
(as opposed to hard) frozen desserts were potentially good business ideas.

In his first year there, he grossed over $3500.
By 1937 he had a custard stand at the Hartsdale site,
with a freezer which allowed him to make his own frozen custard.
By 1939, gross was over $6000. The original Hartsdale store
was closed on Sunday, October 5, 2008.

In the early 1940s, Tom Carvel traveled, selling custard at carnivals,
while his wife Agnes ran the Hartsdale location.
During World War II he ran the ice cream stands at
Fort Bragg in North Carolina, gaining additional expertise in refrigeration technology.

He soon invented and patented his own freezer, the "Custard King",
and in 1947 sold 71 freezers at $2900 each.
Some of the freezer purchasers defaulted on payments on the units,
and upon investigation, Carvel found that they
were not running their businesses efficiently,
choosing poor locations and not always maintaining high health standards.

Carvel decided that the best way to correct the situation
was to participate in running the operations of his freezer customers;
he later claimed this led him to develop the concept of franchising.

The mainstays of Carvel's line of ice cream cakes were
7", 8", 9", 10" and 12" rounds, 10"x14" and 12"x17" sheet cakes,
and the "Carvelog," a log-shaped cake made in a cylindrical mold.
In addition to Cookie Puss, there were also special cakes
for most major holidays, including a "Flower Basket" for Mother's Day,
"Hoot The Owl" for June graduations, "Dumpy the Pumpkin"
and "Wicky The Witch" for Halloween, "Tom the Turkey" for Thanksgiving,
"Seamus The Leprechaun" for St. Patrick's day,
and a "Snow Man" for Christmas. Most of these were made from
one of a limited number of molds and their primary differences
from products available year-round were the designs on the icing.

Carvel also popularized various ice cream "novelty" items,
such as the "Flying Saucer", a circular ice cream sandwich, the "Icy Wycy,"
a paper cone of sherbet on a stick, "Brown Bonnet" and "Cherry Bonnet,
" frozen vanilla ice cream on a sugar cone dipped in a sweet, waxy confection,
the "Tortoni," a cup of vanilla ice cream covered with toasted coconut
and topped with a maraschino cherry, and the "Lollapalooza,"
cylindrical ice cream on a stick covered with colored sprinkles,
as well as the less popular "Mamapalooza" and "Papapalooza."
