Here's how we did it.

2. Give them a gourmet touch.
Our Earl Grey Ice Cream Cake. Ain't she a beaut? Topped with torched meringue, on an almond dacquoise base.
As seen earlier, our Double Chocolate Ice Cream Cake. Topped with a chocolate buttercream cone & dollops,
along with a vanilla macaron. On a chocolate fudge cake base.
One of our greatest challenges was figuring out how to adapt patisserie or conventional baking techniques to ice cream cakes.
Torching marshmallows for our S'mores Ice Cream Cake. Those pillowy babies almost look like they're breathing...
...lining the cake with crushed graham crackers. Therapeutic!
Piping the chocolate buttercream cones for our Double Chocolate Ice Cream Cake.
There was a lot (delicious) of trial & error involved.
Dotting the cake with flakes of 23 karat gold leaf...for that added sparkle.
