Cake? Ice cream? Have both in one bowl with easy birthday cake ice cream

Incredibly delicious and easy to make, birthday cake ice cream (complete with cake mix and sprinkles) tastes like cake, but in ice cream form. Prepare to have the kid inside of you jump right out.

There are certain events in a person’s life that call for birthday cake ice cream and one of them happened to be my now six-year-old’s…well… umm… birthday. I had made this ice cream for the little ones way back when and they absolutely loved it, of course. When it was time to celebrate, naturally, this was on top of their list.

You don’t have to be a kid to love it as much as them, if not more.

Do you see that light blue ribbon woven all around the ice cream? Well, because this cold and creamy beauty is loaded with sprinkles, the blue ones decided to melt right into the cream and become one. It’s the prettiest accident I have ever seen. I can’t promise that you’ll experience the same, but fingers crossed, you will. It’s just that darn pretty.

Milk in, cake mix in, and a handful of sprinkles tossed in with everything at the end. Happiness!
