I made two ice cream cakes for Joseph and Heather's birthday party. I haven't made this type of cake in a few years, so I had to remember what I was doing. However, I also forgot that this cake is a hit in any group because without the frosting it isn't as sweet and I think I got more complements on these cakes than a cake usually inspires. The cake is very easy to make. Bake a cake mix in two square or circle pans, slice each cake in half so that you have 4 layers. Layer ice cream between each layer and top with powdered sugar or drizzle chocolate syrup on top. Some things that make this easier to make are 1) don't add oil to the cake mix- it makes it easier to slice. 2)buy a box of ice cream not a round container - this way you can just open the box and slice the ice cream which is easier than trying to spread ice cream. My letters were done by placing paper letters on the cake, sprinkling with powdered sugar and then removing the paper letters.
