Ice cream cakes are a favorite alternative to traditional flour-based cakes for many people. They are believed to date back to 1800s England but some sources claim they are even older, dating to the sixteenth century.
Today, we are spoiled with the abundant options for ice cream cakes. Most major grocery stores carry them with some favorite store-bought brands being Carvel, Friendly’s, Uncle Harry’s, Turkey Hill, and Good Humor. The higher-end and customizable cakes are typically found at ice cream stores such as Dairy Queen or Baskin Robbins.
Below you will find a list of popular places to buy ice cream cakes. All places allow for online ordering with many of the ice cream shops allowing for personalization such as “Happy 10th Birthday!” or whatever you wish to say.
