Ice cream cake

Ice cream cake

Ice cream cake is either ice cream in the shape of a cake or ice cream and cake layered together to make a single form. The idea of ice cream cake came from desserts composed of cream and cookies or cake called trifles, which first turned up in the Renaissance. Ice cream cake can be used for birthday cakes or, as has recently become in vogue among celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Britney Spears, at weddings.

Victorians made desserts called bombes, which consisted of ice cream and fruit in fancy molds. Sometimes these desserts were lined with cake or biscuits. Ice cream cake recipes dating to the 1870s have also been found.

Today, ice cream cakes are made in many ice cream stores and in many different varieties, including tin roof pie. Ice cream cakes are primarily made by layering two different types of hard ice cream, with soft serve acting as the "icing".
