Ice cream birthday cake ideas are now everywhere, with seemingly every ice cream flavor and topping combination imaginable to choose from. The problem with that, however, is that it can be very overwhelming when you’re trying to decide which flavor of ice cream to get or which toppings look best on your cake. With so many options out there to buy ice cream birthday cake, it can be tough to make the right choice. But don’t worry—we have you covered! In this article, we list the top four best ice cream birthday cake ideas and explain why they are such great picks in case you need further convincing!
1) Chocolate fudge birthday cake ice cream
Looking for an ice cream birthday cake idea? Look no further. Chocolate fudge is a great option because it’s really tasty and decadent, but you don’t need a ton of time to make it. Start by getting your ingredients together and mixing the cocoa with a bit of butter in a saucepan on the stove. Stir until it’s melted together. Pour the chocolate into your cake pan and put it in the freezer while you prepare the ice cream layer. Freeze your favorite flavor of ice cream on top of that layer as high as you can without compromising structural integrity (remember – this is not going to be sliced). Top with some sprinkles and freeze again until hardened. When ready to serve, remove from freezer and let thaw for about 10 minutes before cutting into slices.
2) Fruit sundae with chocolate layers
A chocolate sundae is one of the most iconic ice cream birthday cake ideas. All you need to make it is a tub of vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sauce and toppings. Put one layer of ice cream into a bowl and pour the hot fudge sauce over it, then add sprinkles, whipped cream or whatever else you want. Place another layer of ice cream on top and repeat the process with more layers. Then create a heart shape in the top layer with a spoon before slicing it up into little portions for all your guests to enjoy!
3) White chocolate raspberry layer cake
When the four corners of a round cake are cut and set with ice cream and topped with raspberry, it becomes a single layered white chocolate raspberry cake. White chocolate cakes get their flavor from cocoa butter, not regular milk or dark chocolate as in milk or dark-chocolate cakes. Another classic ice cream birthday cake is the strawberry shortcake. Shortcakes are usually associated with biscuit dough that is moistened and sweetened with some form of sugar (such as honey) and often mixed with fat such as butter or shortening. It is then cut into biscuits and baked until golden brown, which we don’t recommend for this particular recipe because these cakes need to be served fresh for this dish.
4) Easy stacked cone cakes
Stacked cone cakes are a great ice cream birthday cake idea for two reasons. First, they can be made ahead of time and keep frozen which means you have more time to play on your birthday. Second, it is a no-bake recipe that doesn’t require the oven. However, the use of an electric mixer with a dough hook is recommended because the dough is sticky and can become difficult to mix by hand. Lastly, have fun decorating your ice cream birthday cake! Add sprinkles or add frosting in different colors to make each cone as unique as you are!
