Ice Cream Cake

[ml77]

I always like to get an ice cream cake for my birthday. I used to do Carvel's, but I'd like to see if I can get a higher quality cake this year. I've been looking but it's surprisingly difficult to find. Any suggestions? I'm not really into fruity or savory flavors. Looking more for traditional chocolate, vanilla, etc. Though I do love caramel and cinnamon as well.

Sundaes & Cones On E. 10th St (betw. 3rd & 4th Ave.) makes awesome ice cream cakes. For the more traditional flavors, they'll have a few cakes already made and available for purchase. For customized flavors and combinations, they require advanced notice--a day or two, I believe. Their black sesame and tiramisu flavors are out of this world.

I am a very big fan of the Red Velvet ice cream cake at Cold Stone.
