My oldest son requested an ice cream cake for his 8th Birthday. He gave me free reign on how to decorate it, so I went with a spy theme. With a little help, I made a bunch of fondant spy tools that I was able to place on top at the last moment. Ice cream cakes are pretty easy really. I baked a plain vanilla cake, split it in half and filled the middle with ice cream. Old School Frozen Custard was having strawberry as the flavor of the day, so I had them do a Neapolitan style....3 stripes, 13 scoops in all. I frosted the cake with a very simple whipped cream icing, with a bunch of powdered sugar in it to stabilize it. I was pretty pleased with the result. I reminded me how fun and easy it is to work with fondant. It really is edible play dough.
