Birthday Cake Contestants


So I've already got two birthday cakes in store for me come the 21st. But there are so many other delicious contenders in the world that I thought I'd just put one up a day for the next week or so.
This ice cream cake just caught my eye on One Perfect Bite because it's so super-easy, yet I've never seen anything exactly like it before. You just mix some peanut butter, melted chocolate and Rice Krispies together, then mix the hardened candy into softened ice cream and refreeze in a springform pan. It comes out looking so much more sophisticated than it really is, and you can use almost any chopped candy and any flavor ice cream. Plus, as a July birthday, I've had my share of ice cream cakes and I never like the block hard ice cream next to the stiff, dry, flavorless cake. This one is like the perfect solution!
