from your grocery store or icecream shop mmmmm

reading these stories are great

Ice cream cakes can be purchased or made with different tubs of ice cream; delicious!

Like the idea of letting the kids make their own ice cream cake.

Buy tubs, so much quicker and easier. You could buy plenty of vanilla and then some berries and puree them and mix them through a layer, or some syrup and do the same.

thanks every one for you advice i decided to let her make her own and it was a hit with her friends

  Hope it went well and was delicious!

you can also buy ice-cream cakes

I’ve made ice cream cakes in the past by buying good quality ice cream,softening it and mixing in my kids favourite treats such as m and ms and chopped frozen raspberries etc in different layers. You can also use different shades of ice cream, vanilla and chocolate etc. Good luck, I’m sure your daughter will love whatever you make.

Easy way you can order from ice cream shop like Baskin Robins or Cold Rock.

Easiest way is to buy ice cream – you can mix things into it once its soft enough then put into the tin you want.

when I have made it I have always bought the icecream, and left it to soften enough to be able to be placed in moulds or to have bits smooshed in, (like crushed smarties)

If you use a tin I think you layer it in glad wrap so that you can get it out

some ice cream shops also make them. But you can do either: make your own ice cream or buy it. I think Coles sells ice cream cakes too already done.

you can buy one from the super market or I would do the layering idea as this way you can make it from flavours she really likes

You go to Coles, to the icecream section and pick one out!

You can do both, but the easiest way would be the tubs of Icecream and slowly layer the cake and freeze, layer, freeze

Either way would work buy or make but for ease i would just buy the ice cream from the shops.
good luck hope it all works out

Tubs of ice-cream layered would work a treat

I would buy tubs of icecream so much easier for the amount. You can also add all your daughters favourite chocolates to decorate and as mentioned you can mix crushed oreo’s or crunchie bars or maltesers into the icecream mix.

The one I attempted was a Christmas one, I had line a tin with wax paper or baking paper, melt the ice cream a little and do one layer, then sprinkle with strawberries or tim tam bits, put it in the freezer for ten minutes and do the next layer, i used to different ice cream flavours and layered with crushed crunchies and strawberries, I did three layers. Good luck. Kids are pretty much happy with anything, as long as it has candles.
