Ice Cream Flavors w/ B-day Cake

Hello Ladies,

Do you offer various ice cream flavors to accompany birthday cake or do you just stick with vanilla?  I'm torn on whether I should provide variety for the upcoming birthday party at our house.  The majority of the guests will be adults.

TIA

  • I just get those small ice cream cups with a variety of flavors so they can pick, chose and refuse!

  • I'm a purest and love vanilla with certain things like pie but DH's family mixes it up. For birthday cake though I say whatever you like. If it's chocolate I love coffee with the chocolate. If it's vanilla or yellow I like something fruit and minty always works with everything :)
  • It really depends on the flavor of cake, what flavor or flavors of ice cream I provide.

    I usually just provide a good quality vanilla ice cream, but I sometimes have toppings for those people who will 'die' without chocolate (thankfully, my chocoholic DH is not one of those people) or just want some mix ins.


  • My first thought was definitely vanilla.  You could have various sprinkles to change it up.  This idea was on pinterest.  Put the ice cream in cupcake papers and freeze ahead so serving is fast and easy and portion controlled.

  • Mayfield Birthday Cake ice cream is the norm for our family on birthdays.
  • We usually have 3-4 pints to go with cake.
  • I love the muffin tin idea!  Thanks for all of the ideas.
