I want to take this opportunity to wish my big brother, McSloppy Deadweight (his new nickname), a Happy 28th Birthday! <3 To celebrate this joyous occasion, as well as my sister-in-law’s birthday who’s birthday is three days later (Happy 26th Birthday Mrs McSloppy Deadweight for thursday!!), I thought I would bake them a cake. For something fun, I wanted to (and had to) bake them an ice cream cookie sandwich cake!
The name is self explanatory – ice cream that is sandwiched between two massive cookies! As I was limited on time, I did cheat and buy the ice cream. It definitely works out to be more convenient alternative. The cookie recipe I used is from Taste, obviously making only two large cookies out of the cookie dough. I did adapt the recipe slightly - I used chocolate M&Ms instead of chocolate pieces/chips as I wanted colourful looking cookies.
I didn’t plan it out too well. I constructed the cake and put it back in the freezer so that the ice cream could set/harden again, but it totally crossed my mind that the cookies would freeze and become rock hard. So come time to serving it, it was a disaster.
My advice for those who will try such a thing, this ice cream cookie sandwich cake should be served immediately after made/constructed. This is so you get the best of both the cookie and the ice cream. Despite the difficulties of trying to serve the cake, it was still delicious…….
It was delicious indeed! Refreshing treat for the beautiful summer day we had. Happy birthday Mr Sloppy Deadweight!!
SO PRETTY! love all the colours of the M&Ms!
That is an incredible feat. I hope they appreciated it and enjoyed it.
What a great idea! And lol at his nickname! Only a sister that bakes such a great cake could get away with that :P
I wish I came up with the nickname.. it was actually made by his friends the night before. haha
love it <3
i guess we all learn by doing, but this is magnificent. the enormity of it is so impressive!
