I pretty much have everything down packed but the icing part. If I add milk to the vanilla ice cream won't that make a milk shake? I don't get it..... Please help! Hi Jodi,

I love your directions for the ice cream cake- I can't wait to try it- I love your tip about the icing! One thing I can teach you is about BAKE EVEN CAKE STRIPS. They are the best cake item anyone can EVER own. You can buy them at Michael's or Joann's or Hobby Lobby and be sure to find a 40% coupon. You can also buy them at Wilton.com and here is the link: http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfmid=3E3D620-475A-BAC0-592117323818A1AA&killnav=1 They force the cake to not cook as fast from the outside so the middle doesn't rise above the edges. You can even pin more than one together to go around bigger pans or buy the bigger set and just wrap and wrap them around your pans. It doesn't hurt a thing. I just soak them in a measuring cup while I am making my cake and then follow directions and put them around the outside of my pan after I have tapped away my cake bubbles. Good luck. Let me know what you think of my cakes if you get a chance. I have been doing cakes for about 3 years and teaching for 2 years now. Bye! Colleen Hi there.

The recipe I'm using calls for Cool Whip and I'm not a fan. As to the cake bump - try pushing the batter to the edges before baking - your pan starts with a dip in the middle. Doesn't always completely remove the bump but lessens the amount you'll be trimming. I will try the vanilla ice cream for icing trick. The recipe I’m using calls for Cool Whip and I’m not a fan.

I made it for my son's 5th birthday yesterday and it was a hit and much cheaper than Baskin Robbins. Oh, and I somehow came across your blog from your Food Storage blog. thanks, again. Hi Jodi,

I laughed outloud reading your story of how to build this cake! You are too funny. My step son's favorite dessert is ice cream cake with chocolate chip mint ... I am going to start making this tonight for his graduation party tomorrow. WISH ME LUCK! I'll be thinking of you ... as well as drinking my two diet cokes! (and maybe some wine) : ) Best - Molly Atlanta, Georgia Hi Jodi - I did a search for “ice cream cake” and your blog pulled up. I laughed outloud reading your story of how to build this cake!

You're doing a great job here! I also have a family that loves ice cream cakes. One trick I discovered is to line the cake pan with plastic wrap before filling it with the softened ice cream. That way you don't have to deal with the "dip it in hot water" step, just lift the edges of the plastic wrap, flip onto the cake, and then remove the plastic. Have fun celebrating many more birthdays! My visiting teacher sent me the link to your site. You’re doing a great job here!

My husband loves ice cream cake as well, but I have not attempted a homemade one yet. This has definitely given me the extra push to take the plunge. FYI, cakes (and muffins, etc.) rise a lot more in the middle when the batter has been stirred too much. It creates too much gluten and causes the "pores" in the cake to be uneven and the weird middle rising. Not that it will ever be totally flat or anything, but you get the idea.
