Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Mother-In-Law!
Happy Birthday Grandma Cookie!
(BTW – Cookie really is her nickname. It’s not just for the blog.)
I made her favorite! Birthday Cake Ice Cream – a.k.a. – Cake IN the Ice Cream!
Well, I don’t really know if it’s her favorite, but she loves cakes, she loves frosting and she LOVES ice cream.
So I figured, it couldn’t get any better if I were to combine all them into one great dessert!
I saved some edges from a cake I used for cake pops. I broke up the cake into chunks and froze them.
I also had a 2 cups of frozen butter cream that I cut into chunks.
I made my basic Vanilla Ice Cream and tinted it blue (per my daughter’s insistence).

As I transferred the ice cream into a container, I added in some frozen butter cream and cake pieces and rainbow jimmies.
It’s important that the cake and frosting be frozen in advance. This prevents the cake from getting soggy in the ice cream.

Once the containers were filled they went into the freezer overnight to harden.
The next day, I made some quick ganache with some chocolate chips and cream and made some whipped cream.
Put them together and – Voila! – top it off with a cherry!
Happy Birthday, Cookie! Hope you have a WONDERFUL Birthday week!

Oh gosh, I LOVE THIS! I've been thinking about how to put cake inside ice cream…and now you've inspired me!! LOVE LOVE LOVE and now I want some. So, thanks. 🙂
This looks so fun! Normally when I think 'birthday cake ice cream' I'm reminded of the overly sweet flavored ice cream – this is more along the lines of what I'd want to eat!
I would love it if you would link up at Watch Out, Martha!’s first link up party: Martha Mondays, going on now through Wednesday! Hope to see you there!

I found you on Cast Party Wednesday. What an awesome idea. Your daughter was right- the blue is awesome and is what caught my eye. Pinning this for later. 🙂

That looks really good. Thanks for the great tip about having the cake frozen first.
Brilliant! My kids would go nuts for this (as would I!). We always end up with leftover cake, I'm totally making this next time. Following you now, check me out if you get a chance. 🙂 http://indulgebakery.blogspot.com/

This looks so festive an yummy! We'd love to have you join us for our first every Tasty Tuesday linky party on 5/15 at aletteredlife.blogspot.com!
Wow this looks amazing! I love that you incorporated the cake and frosting into the ice cream. I love making homemade ice cream but have never thought to add anything except fruit or chopped up cookies. Now I know I am going to be adding cake too 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday this week. I can't wait to see what you link up next week. Have a wonderful weekend.

I love this one, it brings back sweet memories! Thanks for posting.
This looks fabulous! Can't wait to try it.
Saw this on Pin… looks insane!!
Thanks so much for stopping by! It's a great compliment. Have a great Mother's Day!
This is wonderful — looks just like the Coldstone version, but even better. Definitely a useful tip about freezing the cake and frosting pieces beforehand. I never would've thought of that.
Our closest Cold Stone is an hour away, so I NEVER get over there… My new thing is Sweet Frong Yogurt. Mmmmmm! Thanks for stopping by.
What a wonderful creation and I'm sure it was a hit. Thanks for the tip about freezing the cake and frosting!
This is a wonderful cake – it looks great and I'm sure it's fun to make
Just love it!
