    I promised myself if I saw this come across my path again I would ignore it …. but I just couldn’t. I was too tempted by CHOCOLATE screaming at my from my Google Reader. I may have to do something like this for my daughter’s birthday in a few weeks. She always skips over the cake anyways and dives into the ice cream.

      Its perfect for kids birthday parties! solves the cake and ice cream delima in a heart beat.. I’ve used two different types of ice cream.. just spread and chill for a bit in the freezer before adding the next layer.. if you have questions once you get started, let me know.. the possibilities are endless!
