Abstract: An ice shaving system includes a body and a driven member positioned within the body. The driven member is drivable to produce shaved ice. The ice shaving system also includes a motor configured to selectively drive the driven member and a spout having an outlet. The spout is configured to dispense the shaved ice via the outlet. The ice shaving system further includes a shaping device configured to form a portion of the dispensed shaved ice with a predetermined shape. At least a portion of at least one of the spout or the shaping device defines a movable structure that is movable relative to the body. The motor is selectively activatable to drive the driven member in response to actuation of the movable structure relative to the body.
