Made this last February for my daughters 19th B-Day. Shes a big mint fan. It was a hit. My son wants one for his B-day this month. Going to try a different flavor ice cream this time. It's easy to make and quite delicious!

If you are having the problem of frosting the cake and trying to deal with melting ice cream, try freezing your cake before you frost it. That was how we frost our ice cream cakes at Cold Stone. It makes it a lot easier to handle. Hope this helps!

I have a question for the other people that made this cake. It was fairly easy until my friends and I tried to ice it. It may be because we were using store bought icing, but it seemed like the ice cream was melting really fast and the frosting wouldn't stick to the ice cream part. Do you have any suggestions?
