Looking for the EASIEST graduation cake that will seriously impress your guests? Try this incredible Ice Cream Graduation Cake with Chocolate Ganache!
Graduation season is upon us! I don’t know about you, but I LOVE everything about graduation parties. The fun atmosphere (so much excitement about new beginnings), the friends and family, and of course the food. It’s fun (if not a little sad!) to see kids grow up, and I just love taking part in their celebrations.
Can I let you in on a little secret though? When I go to graduation parties (or any warm-weather party), I secretly feel a little disappointed if they’re just serving regular cake. At the end of May or beginning of June, all I want is food that will cool me down… and regular cake doesn’t do that.
I would never tell anyone this (although I guess I’m confessing to the entire Internet 😉 ), but when it’s warm outside, all I want is an ice cream cake! Cake and ice cream are a match made in foodie heaven, and there is nothing better than a chilled ice cream cake on a warm day. (But let’s be real here: ice cream cake is the best even if it’s cold outside!)
Ice cream cakes are such a great way to make people smile. They’re perfect for graduation parties, family celebrations, gifts (the fastest way to make someone your best friend is to gift them an ice cream cake!), and just everyday deliciousness.
Thankfully, heating up your kitchen to make such a ice cream cake doesn’t have to happen, as Carvel offers all sorts of round and sheet cakes at your local grocery store. Be sure to check out the freezer case in the bakery section 😉
The 8″ rounds will feed up to 14 people, while the sheet cake can feed up to 24 people. Oh, and you can totally take this to the bakery and they will totally help you to write your a message to your special graduate!
