Ice Cream Cake

My baby girl turned 10.
Double digits.
My little Grace is a pre-teen.

I don’t have babies any more.

She’s smart, talented, kind hearted, beautiful both inside and out.
She loves to dance and sing.

She’s getting a mind of her own and an attitude.
There are some days when I wonder who’s child she is.

In my house, on your birthday, we have a family only dinner, you get to choose the meal and your cake. And it’s all made at home, with the birthday person’s help.

Grace choose for her cake an Ice Cream cake. Cool, I’ve always wanted to make one! For her ice cream she choose Cookie Dough.


And the best part about this cake? We had fun making it together!

Ice Cream Cake
made by Grace

1 half gallon of ice cream (or as close as you can get)
1 layer of your favorite cake (we used devil’s food)
crushed cookies ,we used regular Oreos
Chocolate candy, we used KitKats and Reeces
Candy coating or chocolate chips

You’ll need a spring form pan to make this. Remove ice cream from freezer and let sit on counter for about 20 minutes to soften.

Place your layer cake on the bottom of the spring form pan. Mush the cake down to create a crust.

Take about half of the ice cream and smooth it around to coat the cake layer

Now for the cookies. Break your cookies over the ice cream. Gently press into the ice cream.

Place the remaining ice cream on top of your cookie layer.

Chop your candy.

And sprinkle on top.

you could stop here but why would you want to.

Melt your candy coating or chocolate chips then drizzle on top. I use my handy bottles.

Place in the freezer to set over night.

Remove from freezer about 10 minutes before serving. You may need to use a knife around the edge by the spring form latch to loosen.

Just a note. We thought it would be decorative to add some Ready Whip around the edges.

Weird thing.

About Grace

When I was younger, I was constantly in the kitchen helping my mom bake. It was fun getting to play with the flour and always getting to lick the spoon. I’ve always expressed an interest in baking and now I feel that it’s the right time for me to take over. I am a college student working towards a nursing degree as well as a full-time aunt to the sweetest little kids (they might pop up in some of the posts). I’ve learned most of what I know about baking and cooking from my mom, and I am continuing to self-teach through trial and error, which means plenty of sweets to be eaten. Read more...

    Goodness Joan what a luscious cake! It looks so fun and I bet the best part was making it with your daughter. Happy birthday to your sweetie girl. My daughter just turned 13 last month … and she loves to dance and sing too … she’s growing up way too fast!:)

    Joan and Grace, what a GORGEOUS cake!! Happy Birthday, Grace!! What a wonderful way of celebrating birthdays, Joan! We always go out to dinner here, but I like your idea much better. Maybe it’s not too late to start that tradition even though my kids are close to being on their own.
    I agree with Ann, they grow up WAY too fast!
    Enjoy your week, girls!!

    Now that is a really scrumptious creation. I’ll wager Grace was thrilled and had a wonderful birthday. This was my first visit to your blog, so I took some time to browse through your earlier posts. I’m so glad I did that. I really like your recipes and I’ll definitely be coming back for more. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
