Let Them Eat (Ice Cream) Cake
We’ve been making ice cream cakes on and off for the past few years, mostly for birthdays. They are something that we have never marketed, but rather something spread by word of mouth.
This year, however, we’ve been taking them a little more seriously, and have tried to have them in stock most of the time in the Killarney shop for people to eat by the slice. For the past month we’ve had them in the Dingle shop as well. People absolutely adore them.
They are deceptively simple and extremely tasty. I wanted to photograph the slice on the right, and I ended up eating a good part of it before I took a decent photograph. Then I ate the rest…
We’re still trying to work out the best flavour combinations and the best decorations.
However, we are going to try to get some into a few shops around the country by Christmas, so stay tuned if it’s your kind of thing…
P.S. We can make them gluten-free!

Hi Kieran! I bet those cakes taste wonderful! Are they quite tricky to put together?

Yes, they are wonderful, and they aren’t too hard except the decoration, which is a pain!

wow~
it looks VERY delicious
can you put the directions of how to make it?

It’s actually very easy - we crumble oreos for the base, then pour two layers of ice cream before it’s fully frozen, then decorate the top!

Hi,
These cakes look fab yum. My brother is turning 18 in March and he would love an ice cream cake for his Party. Only problem is we live in Cork and I cant find anyone here that makes these cakes, any ideas??

I don’t know of any places in Cork. We have some in our Killarney shop, but I think it would melt before you could get it home! We do hope, however, to start wholesaling these, so you might find some near you within a few months…

Hi Kieran, I’m throwing a going away party for my friend in Dublin. She’s allergic to wheat so we thought an ice cream cake would be perfect. I saw above that you were thinking of wholesaling your cakes, anywhere in Dublin they can be bought?
