Is there ever a bad time for ice cream? The answer is no. It’s always the right time for ice cream. 

In today’s case, it’s actually always the right time for ice cream CAKE, especially during this hot summer. No matter what you’re celebrating this week (like a Tuesday), this over-the-top rainbow freak cake ice cream cake will be the highlight of the day. I should probably start with the obvious question…what is a freak cake? Well it’s a cake that’s all about crazy toppings! I used a round Carvelยฎ Ice Cream Cake by I Love Ice Cream Cakes as the base for this rainbow freak cake, glazed with a rainbow white chocolate drip and a variety of colorful candy toppings. They look almost too pretty to cut into, but since that good ‘ol ice cream cake is pre-made for you, it’s not much work to turn it into a glorious rainbow freak cake. You’ll want one of these ice cream cakes for every occasion from now on!

Whatever your next occasion to celebrate, you can grab a cake by I Love Ice Cream Cakes from the freezer section of many grocery stores. Find a store near you that offers I Love Ice Cream Cakes by clicking here. If you’ve ever tried to make an ice cream cake from scratch (ugh, been there) you may know that it’s a million times easier to leave it to the pros and just swing by the grocery store for a Carvel cake instead. 

Plus, July is National Ice Cream Month, so that is one perfect reason to celebrate with an ice cream cake!

How to Make a Rainbow Freak Cake

Supplies:

  • 10 oz. white chocolate
  • 10 oz. heavy cream
  • Food coloring, 5-6 colors
  • Angled spatula
  • Small heat-safe mixing bowls
  • Spoons
  • Rainbow sprinkles
  • Rainbow or colorful lollipops and other candy or cookies

Remember, the most important thing about decorating an ice cream cake is making sure it stays frozen! Move it back to the freezer as needed to prevent melting.

First, grab your ice cream cake! I picked mine up in the freezer of the bakery section of my local Vons.

Step 1: Use a spatula to smooth out the top frosting. As pretty as it is, we can’t add that signature freak cake drip unless it’s flat. Move back to the freezer while you make the ganache. 

Step 2: To make the ganache, you’ll use equal parts cream and chocolate. Heat the cream in the microwave for about 45 seconds until warm. Mix in white chocolate and heat in 30 second intervals until you can mix them together smoothly. Once the chocolate has completely melted into the cream, pour the ganache into multiple small bowls.

Step 3: In 5-6 bowls, stir food coloring into the ganache so you have a bowl for each color of your rainbow. Allow ganache to cool, which will also allow it to thicken.

Step 4: Remove the cake from the freezer. Use a spoon to carefully push small amounts ganache over the edge of the cake and create the drip. Alternate colors either randomly or in a rainbow pattern. Then add ganache to the top and allow the colors to blend together like tie dye.

Step 5: Immediately sprinkle the edges with rainbow sprinkles. Move the cake back to the freezer to set. 

Step 6: If using lollipops for toppings, cut the sticks so that they will fit entirely into the cake. 

Step 7: Once the cake is properly frozen and the ganache has set (it may continue to drip in the freezer), remove it and stick lollipops into the cake. Note the front of the cake and place larger pieces at the back and smaller pieces toward the front. Fill in with other colorful candies, sprinkles or cookies. Due to the size of my serving plate, I also filled in the bottom of the cake with extra sprinkles.

Move the cake to a serving platter or stand if desired and cut immediately to reveal the tasty layers of chocolate and vanilla ice cream with a crunchy center inside! I’m not ashamed to admit I ate WAY too much ice cream cake all by myself.

This is the easiest ganache recipe ever with only two equal-part ingredients, so it’s easy to whip up and drip over your cake. The rest is just throwing the rainbow kitchen sink all over the cake, ha! Check the candy aisle of your grocery store or a party store for colorful candies to decorate the top, or even leave that pretty tie dye rainbow drip to speak for itself. Add a cake topper or candles for special occasions, and this cake is truly a treat for every type of celebration.

Now excuse my while I eat the other half of this rainbow freak cake waiting for me in the freezer to celebrate the fact that it’s not Monday!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon ๐Ÿ˜ฝ
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! ๐Ÿ˜ญ Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one ๐Ÿคช When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??โ 
โ 
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! ๐Ÿ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! ๐ŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! ๐ŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! ๐Ÿ˜ญโ 
โ 
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! ๐Ÿ˜ธ Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! ๐Ÿ˜ธ Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community ๐Ÿ˜ญโ 
โ 
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase ๐Ÿ›โ 
โ 
"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
๐Ÿ I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since ๐Ÿ I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...โ 
โ 
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!โ 
โ 
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media ๐Ÿ˜ฃ I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (๐Ÿ“ธ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
