The holidays are always especially chaotic in my house. Not only do I have to plan for Christmas, but Little E’s birthday is December 17 so I have to work that in as well.
This year I decided not to hold a “friends” birthday party until after the holidays. However, I wanted to make sure that we did something special now for Little E on his birthday.
This has been a tough year for my boys, Little E in particular, so I wanted to do something to to make the birthday more special — more magical — and not to go with your typical store-bought cake. Instead, I decided to purchase a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake.
I’m not sure if you are familiar with Baskin-Robbins ice cream cakes, but the holiday-themed Ganache Poinsettia Cake is not only gorgeous, but also delicious This is actually the one I ordered for Little E since we were going with a bit of a Christmas-themed family birthday this year.
This 9″ cake features a layer of dark chocolate draped over the ice cream cake. The Winter OREO® Cookies and poinsettia top the whole look off.
Baskin-Robbins is More Than Cakes and Cones
For Little E’s birthday celebration we had a pizza party. What is better than some pepperoni pizza? How about an ice cream pizza? In addition to the Ganache Poinsettia Cake, Baskin-Robbins also has a limited-time Peppermint & Winter OREO® Cookies Polar Pizza. Both of these special edition desserts are so delicious I can’t even begin to guess which is my favorite!
The Peppermint & Winter OREO® Cookies Polar Pizza is designed to look like your traditional pizza — only so much better! It features a double fudge brownie crust with peppermint ice cream and is topped with Winter OREO® Cookie Pieces, and drizzled marshmallow and fudge topping.
Since I like to go big when I have celebrations I actually served both the Polar Pizza as well as the Ganache Poinsettia Cake to our guests. It turns out most everyone had a little of both — I guess they couldn’t decide which one they liked better either!
While you are at Baskin-Robbins you should also pick up the December Flavor of the Month, Peppermint Bark in the Dark. This ice cream makes me remember why I love Baskin-Robbin’s chocolate ice cream so much. This ice cream combines crunchy peppermint bark and creamy chocolate ice cream all wrapped together with a peppermint candy and white chocolate flavored ribbon. (Spoiler Alert: I’m keeping this one all to myself!)
You can pre-order the Baskin-Robbins’ Ganache Poinsettia Cake and Peppermint & Winter OREO® Cookies Polar Pizza both in-store and online at www.baskinrobbins.com/onlineordering.
