You may have read my post about my daughter's request for an ice cream birthday cake for her 8th birthday. I was tossing up between making and buying one, (to save my sanity) but thanks to a reader's suggestion/encouragement, I decided to diy.
I simply used 4 litres of good quality vanilla ice cream, softened and stirred. I added it to a large, springform tin. Here I "marbled" through about 1/2 cup of pureed raspberries for flavour interest and so it looked pretty when sliced :)
Once hardened, I used TV Snack Malt sticks around the outside in 2 layers. The top was decorated with raspberry lollies, maltesers and marshmallow swirls. A big ribbon and it was done. Easy!
To her birthday dinner I added some chocolate spoons...
some of my "cookie ball pops"...
..some other favourites, and my new 8 year old loved her birthday tea!
