It was kind of a sloppy mess at the end, but it worked!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BlVaAGx47wY\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Rainbow Ice Cream Cake<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>18 cups vanilla ice cream + extra for topping<\/li>\n<li>1 package Oreos, crushed<\/li>\n<li>1 cup chocolate ganache or store bought chocolate topping (<a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=2690)\" target=\"_blank\">recipe for ganache here<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Americolor Gel Paste- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple<\/li>\n<li>6 ice cream cones<\/li>\n<li>Confetti Sprinkles<\/li>\n<li>Maraschino Cherries<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=2696\" target=\"_blank\">Vanilla Buttercream (recipe here)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSC_1474blog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-4794\" title=\"Rainbow Ice Cream Cake\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSC_1474blog.jpg\" alt=\"Rainbow Ice Cream Cake\" width=\"601\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSC_1474blog.jpg 800w, http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSC_1474blog-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Procedure<\/strong>:<br \/>Take ice cream out of freezer to soften. In a medium bowl, combine Oreo crumbs and ganache. Mix together and press into a plastic wrapped 9&#8243; springform pan. Set crust into freezer for 10 minutes to solidify. In a bowl, measure out 3 cups of ice cream and mix in red gel paste. Spoon onto crust when crust is set. Set into freezer for 20-30 minutes until red layer is firm. Measure out 3 cups of vanilla ice cream and colour with orange gel paste. Pour and smooth out on top of red layer. Set into freezer for 20-30 minutes to freeze. Repeat four more times for each colour of ice cream (yellow, green, blue, purple).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSC_1489s2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-4805\" title=\"Rainbow Ice Cream Cake \" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSC_1489s2.jpg\" alt=\"Rainbow Ice Cream Cake \" width=\"599\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSC_1489s2.jpg 800w, http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSC_1489s2-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When all six layers are assembled, freeze for 3-4 hours, or overnight. While cake is freezing, cut one third of the side of the cone off, leaving two thirds to press into the side of the cake. Do this to all 6 cones.<\/p>\n<p>To remove cake from pan, prepare a hot water bath in a large pan. Place cake into water for 2-3 seconds and remove. This will release the ice cream from the sides of the pan and allow you to slide the bottom of the pan through the mold.<\/p>\n<p>Once removed from the pan, remove the plastic wrap, and touch up any areas needed with a icing spatula.<\/p>\n<p>Press cone portions onto side of cake, and top with additional scoop of ice cream. Top each ice cream scoop with a maraschino cherry and sprinkles. Finish by piping a buttercream border around the top, connecting the ice cream cones. Add another scoop in the centre of desired.<\/p>\n<p>**You can buy the Americolor Gel Pastes from Amazon, or if you&#8217;re in Canada, I buy them from Golda&#8217;s Kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_target addtoany_list\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_like addtoany_special_service\" data-href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=4772\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter_tweet addtoany_special_service\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=4772\" data-text=\"Rainbow Ice Cream Cake Recipe: How to Make a Rainbow Ice Cream Cake\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_google_plusone addtoany_special_service\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=4772\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/pinterest?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcookiescupcakesandcardio.co%2F%3Fp%3D4772&amp;linkname=Rainbow%20Ice%20Cream%20Cake%20Recipe%3A%20How%20to%20Make%20a%20Rainbow%20Ice%20Cream%20Cake\" title=\"Pinterest\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/pinterest.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Pinterest\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nwpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I&#8217;ve wanted to make an ice cream cake for a while now, as I dream about the cookie crumb filling that Dairy Queen layers in their ice cream cakes!\u00a0 I&#8217;m drooling, just thinking about it.\u00a0 I found the perfect imitation of it, and it is so simple- just Oreos and fudge\/ganache.\u00a0 It provides a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_target addtoany_list\" id=\"wpa2a_2\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_like addtoany_special_service\" data-href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=4772\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter_tweet addtoany_special_service\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=4772\" data-text=\"Rainbow Ice Cream Cake Recipe: How to Make a Rainbow Ice Cream Cake\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_google_plusone addtoany_special_service\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=4772\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/pinterest?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcookiescupcakesandcardio.co%2F%3Fp%3D4772&amp;linkname=Rainbow%20Ice%20Cream%20Cake%20Recipe%3A%20How%20to%20Make%20a%20Rainbow%20Ice%20Cream%20Cake\" title=\"Pinterest\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/pinterest.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Pinterest\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[32,160,222],"tags":[136,1090,1094,1091,1092,1093,1099,1097,1098,423,750,1088,1089],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4772"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4772"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4772\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4807,"href":"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4772\/revisions\/4807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
