| Does anyone do real cake in an ice cream cake or is it all of that horrible cookie crumbs? |

The cookie crumbs are the best part! Sorry you’re broken. |

Baskin Robbins does though I thought the cake was bad. |

| I do not want cake in my ice cream cake because it is frozen. We Love Brusters in Gaithersburg. Carvel does still remind me of my childhood and the crunchies are excellent. |

| The baskin robbins roll cakes are really good - the cake layer is not too thick to make it hard. |

| Tobys in Arlington makes a great one! |

I love carvel but is is definitely a different thing that a traditional ice cram cake like BR or CC.
For those interested, I’ve made several homemade ice cream cakes, which are pretty good and easy. I use a boxed mix cake because scratch cake is too dense to free well. Slice one or two thin layers off the cake and save the rest for trifle or cake pops. Get the Costco premium vanilla sort of soft. Layer it into a springform pan with the thin cake layers, some thick Caramel sauce (I love Mrs Richards or TJ salted caramel), some crushed cookies or chopped nuts (peanuts with the Caramel is amazing) and refereze. Top layer should be ice cream. When you pop the sides of the springform pan, you can smush rainbow sprinkles or chopped nuts onto the sides to pretty it up. It is so good—as good as cold stone for so much less and quicker than driving out to cold stone to pick it up. |
