Lulu's Easy Ice Cream Cake

Whole Foods Cotton Candy

My god child Jazzie loves red velvet cupcakes, salty caramel ice cream and any kind of candy she can get her hands on. So for her birthday I wanted to include all of the above for her cake. I had about 20 left over red velvet cupcakes from a dinner party I held at my house which I decided to crumble and freeze. I bought Malton salt, caramel ice cream and cotton candy from whole foods. I used an 8 inch spring form pan which I covered entirely with plastic wrap. I then layered the bottom of the pan with the red velvet crumbles, on top of that I added the caramel ice cream and sprinkled it with the Malton salt and then repeated the process. Next put in the freezer for about 2 hours or until frozen. When you are ready to serve the cake, take it out of the freezer, turn it over on to the plate you will be using to serve the cake. Adorn with cotton candy. Jazzie and her friends went crazy for this cake. They couldn't believe you could put cotton candy on top of cake. Goes to show you can do anything you want!
