Ask:
Dont buy a sheat cake for your next b-day.Instead make cup cakes arrange them to spell the number of your childs age and frost across the whole thing. From the top it looks like a cake but you dont have to cut it. Everyone just grabbs one. I saw them in my local winndixie but thougth why pay 12$ or more when I can do then. I made one and it was a big hit.

I found a great cheap way to make an ice cream cake too! Buy 2 half gallons of ice cream, thaw one out and spread it into a giant lasagne pan that's lined with tinfoil that's been sprayed with Pam. After spreading the ice cream add chocolate suace, smashed oreos, sprinlkes etc. Refreeze. When frozen spread 2nd flavor of ice cream and cover with plastic wrap. Refreeze. Thaw cool whip and color if necessary. Get cake from freezer and flip upside down onto foil covered piece of cardboard. Peel off tinfoil from top of cake. Frost with cool whip and decorate however you like. Refreeze til party. I'm gonna try and post a picture of the castle cake I made for my dd for her 4th bday party. It took me what seemed like forever to put the cool whip and decorations on because it kept melting, so I had to keep popping it into the freezer-LOL! Her bday's in August and we don't have A/C in our kitchen!!

An even easier way to do the icecream cake...we did this for my ds's birthday in July...take a 1/2 gallon icecream (the kind that comes in a rect. box..not the circle tub), and take it all the way out of the box, still frozen. Use dental floss to cut it all the way through the middle. Then, you lay the two sides, side by side on your cake serving dish and put the entire 9x13 cake you have already baked on top of it. Frost as usual and serve!!

Thanks! Everyone loved it and said it tasted better than a $25.00 store bought one! Plus my dd had a great time helping me put the sprinkles, syrup and smashed oreos in the middle.
