Ice Cream Cakes Ranked Worst To Best

Ben & Jerry’s Birthday Cake Review

Ice cream and cake. Is there truly a better pair of desserts to treat yourself to for a birthday party, celebration, or just because? Let’s be honest: we’d be lying to ourselves if we didn’t love a little cake and ice cream while we binge our favorite Netflix shows. When it comes to desserts, most agree that it’s pretty tough to top cake and ice cream even with a cherry. You might be thinking to yourself: What could possibly be better than ice cream and cake? Cake ice cream? No, while we love cake batter ice cream, we were thinking more along the lines of a cold, sweet ice cream cake.

An ice cream cake is typically made by replacing most of the internal frosting of a normal cake with ice cream. You start with a layer of cake, and then add ice cream! If you want to add more layers, then you add more cake, add more ice cream, and repeat the process. Once you have enough, you add some frosting to the cake’s exterior, and then you have yourself an ice cream cake! You’ve likely seen some ice cream cakes in stores or ice cream shops, and may have even considered getting one for your next birthday. With so many ice cream cakes available, perhaps you’re feeling a bit confused, and struggling to make a dessert choice. Have no fear! We’ve listed out 10 different ice cream cake offerings, and ranked them all from worst to best.

Baskin Robbins Oreo Cookie Cake

The next entry we have from Baskin Robbins is their Oreo Cookie Cake. This cake is advertised as having chocolate or vanilla cake, with any available flavor of Baskin Robbins ice cream in the center, such as Very Berry Strawberry, the Flavor of the Month, or Oreos Cookies and Cream. The cake is then coated in white frosting, dark chocolate is drizzled down the sides, and the border is lined with a fudge frosting. Finally, the cake is topped with whipped frosting, Oreos, and a fudge drizzle. This makes for a pretty appealing cookies and cream cake, don’t you think?

Like anything you can find at Baskin Robbins, this cake tasted great. There was enough cookie throughout the ice cream for us to tell it was actually cookies and cream, and not vanilla with Oreos in it. There also wasn’t an overbearing amount of chocolate, and what was there balanced out nicely with the ice cream. The cake itself was a little too sweet, and the chocolate didn’t taste as chocolatey as the fudge or drizzle, so we had to take some points off there. Otherwise, Baskin Robbins has a pretty solid Oreo ice cream cake, and we recommend trying it the next time you’re at the ice cream shop.

Baskin Robbins Standard Roll Cake

Just because it’s known for having 31 flavors of ice cream, that doesn’t mean Baskin Robbins can’t do ice cream cake! Like a few other popular Ice cream brands out there, Baskin Robbins has a plentiful selection of Ice cream pies, cakes and other treats to choose from. The first Baskin Robbins entry we have on this list is their Standard Roll Cake. This cake is customizable, so we tried it as it is shown on the website: a chocolate chip ice cream rolled into a “cake roll” by a layer of chocolate cake, topped with a layer of fudge, nuts, and cherries.

While we love Baskin Robbins ice cream, and the ice cream in this cake was great, this was our least favorite ice cream cake from the chain. Individually, nothing tastes bad. Once again, the ice cream was amazing, and the cake was decent, as well. What we struggled to enjoy was the shape. We can only imagine how difficult it is to try to make a roll out of Ice cream, but in doing so, trying to eat this cake was an interesting experience, with our forks and spoons sometimes picking up just cake or ice cream, as opposed to a balanced forkful. While this was by far from the worst cake we had, we’d rather get a different cake from the 31 Flavors.

Marketside Unicorn Ice Cream Cake

When you see the colors of blue and yellow set together, it’s difficult not to think of a Walmart. Walmart is one of the largest chains of retail department stores around, so it should come as no surprise that you’ll find some ice cream cakes in their frozen desserts section. Under the “Marketside,” label they offer numerous flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, and a beautiful pink and blue Unicorn Cake Batter. These ice cream cakes were less expensive than other cakes on this list, being offered at around $15 per round cake.

We didn’t have the same problem with these cakes as we had with the previous ice cream desserts. There was a fair amount of ice cream and cake in this single-layered treat, and a helpful amount of frosting decorating the top. Our favorites of the bunch was the Unicorn cake batter cake, the latter having a nice layer of confetti-vanilla cake on the bottom, a cake batter ice cream center, and a nice thick amount of purple frosting, and lots of sprinkles. The ice cream wasn’t as tasty as other in-store brands you can find, but if you’re a fan of lots of frosting on your desserts, you might enjoy this cake. If not, you might want to pass on this colorful Walmart ice cream cake.

Thawing An Ice Cream Cake

You should remove your ice cream cake from the freezer about half an hour before it is time to serve. This time will allow the dessert to soften before cutting. Homemade versions of this dessert often thaw quickly, but commercial made products are frozen at a lower temperature, requiring more time to soften.

Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream Midnight Delight Cake

Ah, Cold Stone Creamery. For over 30 years, this Ice cream chain has graced the U.S. with over 900 locations across the country. Ever since its first establishment in Arizona, Cold Stone has expanded, and offers a wide variety of different ice cream desserts, from cones, cakes, smoothies even ice cream cupcakes! It would have been impossible for us not to talk about Cold Stone when we’re talking about ice cream cakes. These ice cream experts have lots of flavor options to choose from when it comes to ice cream cakes, and even have an option to customize a cake of your own. One of the cakes that we tried from Cold Stone on this list was their Midnight Delight.

Is there such a thing as too much chocolate? The Midnight Delight is a cake made of layers of chocolate devil’s food cake separated by fudge and chocolate ice cream. The cake is also coated in a fudge ganache, and topped with chocolate shavings. Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE chocolate. However, when there’s nothing to balance out the rich taste of the sweet, then it becomes extremely overpowering. If you’re obsessed with chocolate, and think you can’t ever get enough of it, this is the perfect cake for you. If you want something less rich, there are other Cold Stone ice cream cakes on this list that should fit your tastes.

Dairy Queen Oreo Blizzard Cake

Original Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Cake Recipe

This next cake from Dairy Queen fits right in with all of the other cookies and cream cakes on this list. Dairy Queen’s Oreo Blizzard Cake. This cookie ice cream cake starts with a base of vanilla soft serve, the brand’s signature “fudge and crunch center,” and a second layer of Oreo Blizzard ice cream. The cake is then finished with some white frosting, a chocolate drizzle, and crumbled Oreo cookies on top. This cake serves 8-10 people, or just one person for 8-10 days, if you’ve got a sweet tooth.

This Oreo ice cream cake was creamy, crunchy, and the soft serve ice cream in the treat ironically takes the cake. Even though this wasn’t our favorite Oreo ice cream cake, we do think this spectacular dessert has the best Oreo ice cream inside. The Oreo Blizzard is a staple to society, and only adding it to this ice cream cake heightened our experience. Our one critique is an issue that we had with other Dairy Queen cakes, which was the average, somewhat frozen layer of frosting that made the cake difficult to eat

Baskin Robbins Celebration Party Cake

This Baskin Robbins entry is its standard Baskin Robbins Celebration Party Cake. It’s a single-layered cake in the sense that it has one ice cream layer, and one cake layer. The cake layer can be either chocolate or vanilla, while the ice cream inside can be selected from the brand’s list of available ice cream flavors, such as rocky road, peanut butter, and chocolate, or chocolate chip cookie dough. The cake is then covered with a white, creamy frosting, lined with a blue frosting, and decorated on top with extra colorful frosting and sugary sprinkles.

The reason this cake is higher on the list is because of the delicious ice cream you can get with the cake. The cake was pretty solid in terms of flavor, and tasted more like your typical chocolate or vanilla cake, but the ice cream, being Baskin Robbins ice cream, made up for that tenfold. While we weren’t a big fan of the sprinkles, which felt more like an afterthought on an already decent cake, If you’re a diehard fan of Baskin Robbins ice cream, we’d suggest either this cake, or the next Baskin Robbins entry we have on this list.

Signature Select Chocolate And Vanilla

If you’ve browsed the bakery section of Safeway, then you’ve likely seen Signature Select’s Ice cream cakes. Safeway is one of the stores owned by Albertsons Companies, which since the 1860s has grown to own popular brands and grocery chains such as Lucerne Dairy Farms, and of course, Signature Select. There are more Ice cream cake flavors with Signature than the previous entry, including chocolate, vanilla, and cookies and cream, along with two others that are further down this list.

While Safeway’s ice cream cakes come in more flavors than other store-bought cakes, most of the ice cream cakes leave much to be desired. The chocolate, vanilla, and cookies and cream flavors are double-layered cakes, though you wouldn’t be able to tell at first, thanks to their size. These cakes have thinner layers of both cake and ice cream that left us wanting more cake and ice cream. When we want an ice cream cake, we go big or go home, but this ice cream cake made us want to leave Safeway and go home.

Dairy Queen’s Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Cake

When it comes to ice cream, the Dairy Queen takes the crown for one of the best soft serve settings around. The first Dairy Queen opened in Illinois in the year 1940, and unlike other ice cream stores on this list, sells hot dogs, hamburgers, and fries along with its frosty sundaes and scoops. Browse the extensive menu long enough, and you’ll find that Dairy Queen offers several cold ice cream cakes for any event. There are numerous ice cream cake flavors to choose from our favorite ice cream royalty, including the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Cake.

This peanut butter delight is coated in a frozen white frosting, and inside, a base layer of Dairy Queens soft serve ice cream. The cake also has a smaller layer of crunchy bits and fudge before being topped with a layer of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Blizzard ice cream and the actual candy, finished with a drizzle of chocolate. This cake was great, and the peanut butter flavor was very prevalent, but was incredibly sweet, and paired nicely with the layer of fudge. The frosting was frozen, so a bit difficult to slice through, but other than that, a perfectly good peanut butter cake!

Cutting The Ice Cream Cake

Ben &  Jerry

It is best to cut this dessert with a long, serrated knife. Place the knife in a glass of hot water to warm it before cutting the ice cream cake. Be sure to dry excess water off the knife before you begin to cut. After cutting several slices, the knife will become cold, so you will need to rewarm it before cutting again.

Oreo Premium Ice Cream Cake

The next entry on this list is the Oreo Premium Ice Cream Cake, which can be found in various grocery stores, such as Harris Teeter, Target, and Walmart. Oreo cookies have become associated with the flavor of “cookie and cream,” and it’s impossible to think of the flavor of ice cream without imagining the small and addicting cream-filled cookies. The Oreo Premium Ice Cream Cake is a single-layered ice cream cake with vanilla ice cream and Oreo cookies throughout. The ice cream cake was also surrounded by a nice, white frosting, and topped with a giant Oreo cookie.

This cake is unique in the sense that it’s essentially not cake and ice cream, but ice cream in the shape of a cake. There is absolutely no cake on this dessert it’s just ice cream surrounded by frosting. The ice cream itself was good, and tasted like a normal vanilla ice cream with Oreos. We liked the frosting as well, but the giant Oreo didn’t do this treat any favors. Depending on how much you like the cake part of an ice cream cake, this may be your cake, but this was not one of the best store-bought cakes we tried.
