I feel like I went with you on q beautiful journey, and now I want some of that cake! I have never made a homemade ice cream cake. Growing up in the 80s and 90s, store bought Carvel ice cream cakes were a big deal at the "cool" kid birthday parties. I bought a Carvel cakes as an adult for one of my kiddos birthdays and thought the texture was oddly... squeaky?? Kind of like frozen, squeaky foam? The 3 year old requested a spaghetti birthday dinner and the Carvel cake following tomato sauce was digestively a poor choice I will never make again. Or maybe the cake was old? I think homemade is definitely the way to go here. This looks delicious, excellent instincts with the Pocky. I love a kit kat but keeping teeth intact is important for future cake eating. Xoxo
In the UK ice cream bombe/cakes aren't a thing, but always wanted to try a carvel cake.
Well, flicking through the UK equivalent of Ida garden, the one and only Nigella Lawson, I came across an amazing ice cream cake. In the Christmas book of all things.
It's soo good!
The first time I made it was for my late grandad, he knows me as a Baker and was quite surprised, "Ice cream... cake?!"
I joked that I was thinking about his teeth but low and behold a Malteaser go him in the end!
