* Q: How much notice do I need to order an ice
sculptures ?
* Q: Can ice sculptures be displayed outside in the sun ?
A: Yes and No, Sculpture can be outside depending on the weather conditions
like heat, humidity, and the sun. It should be placed in a shaded area at your
event, and we will make every effort to ensure the sculpture will last as long as it
can.

* Q: Can you put color into ice sculptures ?
A: Yes!  Ice Cuisine has developed several ways to do this: and as you see
from our pictures in our Ice Gallery, we are the leaders in St. Louis
*  Add color to snow and pack it into large engraved images this will add a greater
visual impact.
EXAMPLES of this technique are corporate logo's, sign graphics,
name, and so on.
*  Color Graphic Transparency Insert. This is usually black printed on a
transparency sheet. The Ice is cut in two , the transparency is inserted and the Ice is
put back together. And let set for 24 hours so it can be frozen back together, after
this time the Ice can be carved. This gives a floating effect in the center of the Ice
and is great for fine detail images.

* Q: What it takes to set-up An Ice Sculpture ?

A: We typically set-up the sculptures about 1/2 hour prior to your guests arriving.  You  will
need 2 1/2 feet x 2 1/2 feet of table space and a table that will hold up to 300 lb. to
accommodate most ice sculptures. The basic shape of the ice sculpture will last 5-7
hours at 70
degrees F depending on the design.

* You will need to make certain that the following are at the hall; A table
( clothed and skirted), and an electrical outlet by the table ( to plug the light into).
* Q: How do you remove a ice Sculpture at the end of the event ?
A:  Removal requires 2 people. Use a table cloth or linen towels to give you a grip
on the ice.
Lie the sculpture flat, then lift carefully into a large bin, a sink, or outside, and allow to
melt.
We use a 10 gal. drain bucket, as this will hold a lot of water, this will need to be
emptied after 8 hours. It is best to remove the sculpture after the event.
