| My DD has requested an ice cream cake for her birthday party. I'd like to try something better than a store bought Carvel cake but have no interest in making one. Any recommendation on the best store bought ice cream cake? I'm looking at Ben & Jerry's, Coldstone, Baskin Robbins and Thomas Sweet. |
| I've never had complaints with Baskin Robbins. I'm sure the brands are all comparable, though. So maybe decide on design or price? |
|
Not Baskin Robbins.
|
| I like Dairy Queen's with the crunchies in it |
I agree - Dairy Queen ice cream cakes are good! |
| Baskin Robbins has great cakes and they have fun decor for kids - Paw Patrol, Disney, Mario, etc. |
| You want fake ingredients so they stay the right mouth feel when cold so go with carvel, BR, etc. |
|
Toby’s in Arlington and vienna.
Or cold stone. |
I don't think I can't stand for this disrespect of a Carvel cake. it's a classic |
| Cold Stone. I look forward to my ice cream birthday cake every year....and I'm pushing 40 |
| Baskin Robbins |
| Hershey’s |
| Baskin Robbins. It’s an actual cake with ice cream. Some places like Carvel are really just ice cream in the shape of a cake with some crunchies. |
We bought a cake w/out the crunchies - can't remember which brand - its so blah w/out the crunchies. |

If you are near Arlington and can get a fresh custom made Carvel cake, I would go with that.
They closed the Maryland location where I used to get mine, but they were really good. If not Carvel, I vote for Coldstone. |
