Ice Cream Cakes?

Anyone know if there are "mainstream" ice cream cakes that are gluten-free?

My mother would like to serve one at an upcoming birthday celebration, but doesn't want to "gluten" me.

I think you can order them without the crunchies in between the layers, but I don't know where to go...Baskin Robbins? Carvel? Cold Stone Creamery?

We're located in Bucks County PA, if anyone knows of any other ice cream store nearby that might be able to help.

I haven't had an ice cream cake in probably 20 years, and don't even know where to begin looking for one that's gluten-free.

Thanks!

I have gotten several gluten-free ice cream cakes over the years from Dairy Queen. However, I went in and gave a huge lecture to the woman who makes the cakes. For some reason we cannot have the fudge sauce (this my have changed I have not looked into it for a couple of years) which goes between the layers. For obvious reasons (wheat) we cannot have the crunchies. So, we end up with an ice cream cake with candy between the chocolate and vanilla layers. I always remind her to use a new tub of icing and a clean cake mold. So, it can be done but make sure you educate the person making the cake (not just the kid who runs the register). I would also encourage you to go in and read the icing labels. The icing my store uses is safe but I would check with the store.

Carvel has a statement about gluten-free: Open Original Shared Link

Gluten?

Most of our ice creams are gluten-free. However, the chocolate crunchies that are found in our ice cream cakes and the sprinkles put on top are not gluten-free. If you contact a Carvel retail store nearest you, they will be more then happy to substitute the crunchies for something else, such as fudge. They will also be more then happy to not put any sprinkles on the cake. Included below is a list of our gluten-free ingredients:

Some BR's have gluten free cakes. They are just ice cream, fudge goo, and nuts.

If you are good at cake decorating or don't need anything fancy, homemade ice cream cakes are easy. I make them for my dd's summer birthday b/c we live 1 1/4 hours away from the nearest store. If you decide to make one, I can post how.

Please post how! :)

Be sure all items are gluten free. This is a fun cake for kids to help with.

Ice Cream Cake

ingredients:

favorite cake mix or cake recipe

1 jar gooey ice cream topping

cookies

1/2 gallon ice cream for a 9x13" cake

candies or desired cake decorations

piping icing if desired

1 plastic container larger than the cake (depth and width)

ice cream sprinkles, opt.

One or 2 days before, prepare and bake the cake in a greased and floured pan or lined. Let cool, then remove cake or flip it into the plastic container, its ok if it breaks or sinks in the middle. Put a piece of waxed paper on top and the lid. Freeze in a flat spot in the freezer.

The day before or the morning of the birthday:

Crunch or chop the cookies. I put them in a ziploc bag and crunch them. You need about 1 1/2 cups more or less. Slightly warm the ice cream topping to pouring consistency, about 1 minute. Remove waxed paper from cake. Pour topping onto cake to cover the top, use the whole jar if needed. Sprinkle on cookie crumbs. Refreeze cake.

Soften ice cream just enough to slice or spread. Put slices on top of cake and sides then smooth the slices together or just spread it on. Refreeze immediately.

Decide how to decorate. Don't use M&M's they melt on the ice cream and cause it to "bleed" colors.

Chop candy bars if using.

When ice cream is firmer, 2-4 hours, decorate as desired.

Pipe frosting "name" first or use chocolate chips to outline the letters, then finish with desired decorations.

Freeze again until ice cream hardens.

Remove cake from freezer before serving in plenty of time to let it thaw enough to cut with a sharp knife. BE CAREFUL not to cut into the plastic container. If cake is completed the day before, allow for more time to thaw before serving.

ideas:

white cake, with cookie chunks, sprinkles or chips added to the batter, chocolate cookie crumbs, fudge or other topping, vanilla ice cream

yellow cake, with pecan shortbread or ginger snap cookie crumbs, caramel or butterscotch topping

chocolate cake with chocolate or peanut butter chips added to the batter, chocolate cookie crumbs, fudge topping, chocolate or vanilla ice cream

I have never done other flavors. Plain flavored ice cream looks better if decorating it so you can see the decorations.

You can make cupcakes too. Just put a scoop of ice cream on top of a prepared cupcake(frozen or not), w/o the liner, right before serving and squirt on some whipped cream and sprinkles.

Enjoy!

I made one last year-did all the layers in a big bowl, so the cake was dome shaped, it looked cool-it didn't have any cake in it, just ice cream and toppings--it was a replica of Red Robin's mile high mud pie. I now have one of those Betty Crocker dome cake/ice cream cake molds, but I haven't used it yet.

If you are willing to bake your own round cakes Cold Stone will use them. I love my Cold Stone, they are awesome down there.

      The critic acid and sodium citrate is corn unfortunately and they don’t have to label corn because it’s not part of the top 9 allergen and not mandatory 😭

      Yaya, from the JAMA study you refer to: "Taking 60,000 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D for several months has been shown to cause toxicity." No one on this forum is recommending  taking anywhere near that amount. We're talking about 5-10,000IU daily.

      "Doses higher than the RDA are sometimes used to treat medical problems such as vitamin D deficiency, but these are given only under the care of a doctor for a specified time frame. Blood levels should be monitored while someone is taking high doses of vitamin D." Quoted from the Healthline article @Yaya linked above...

      https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2748796 If read carefully, this study @Yaya refers to was done on healthy people.   "Meaning  Among healthy adults, supplementation with higher doses of vitamin D did not result in improved bone health; further research would be needed to determine whether it is harmful." "...311 community-dwelling healthy adults without osteoporosis, aged 55 to 70 years, with baseline levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) of 30 to 125 nmol/L."   High dose Vitamin D doesn't have substantial benefits if your Vitamin D level is already normal. High dose Vitamin D is used to restore severely deficient Vitamin D levels to normal levels.  "...high-dose vitamin D therapy, as a useful tool to rapidly replete vitamin D status, may support immune function in the context of an acute or chronic infection" ...and... "Therefore, in the context of inflammation and conditions where anemia is prevalent, including chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and critical illness, high-dose vitamin D supplementation may be beneficial in rapidly repleting and maintaining 25(OH)D concentrations and may serve as a complement to other treatment regimens to improve anemia." "Among those who had insufficient 25(OH)D (<75nmol/L) at baseline, the High Dose group improved significantly and to a comparatively greater degree on the PRM." These quotes are from the articles I posted earlier.

      My cardio did not hand me a study.  He just determined the dose for my size/weight. Here is one that is 4 days old:  https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-vitamin-d-is-too-much This is the D study: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/vitamin-d-toxicity/faq-20058108 This is a boring video I'm watching on Celiac.
