DIY: How to Turn a Store Bought Ice Cream Cake into a Freak Cake

in DIY, Food/Recipes, Lifestyle on 17/07/17

Did you know that today is National Ice Cream day?

To celebrate, the kids and I picked up this super yummy Jon Donaire® ice cream cake from our local grocery store.  While this cake is pretty delicious on its own, the kids and I decided that we would have a little bit of fun customizing it with extra goodies.  It was such a hit, the kids LOVED it!

BEFORE

AFTER

DIRECTIONS:

  1.  Purchase Jon Donaire® ice cream cake from your local grocery store
  2.  Use cake icing to line the outside of the cake with oreo cookies
  3.  Scope your favorite ice cream into 3 ice cream cones (I used cookies and cream) and place them on top of the cake.
  4.  Use whip cream generously around the ice cream cones on top of the cake.  I went pretty crazy here and loved every bite!
  5.  Crumble 2-3 oreos and sprinkle the crumbs on top.
  6.  Enjoy!

Happy National Ice Cream Day!
