This was the hardest thing to do. I actually have a Pampered Chief checkerboard cake pans and seperator so I used those to build the cake. The ice cream was melting before I was half-way finished with one circle. So I ended up getting a gallon bag and put ice in it. Then put the bag on my granite counter top and put the pan on top to try and keep it cold. So the cake turned out ok - but I wanted to cover the cake with a ganache instead of cookies - just like the icre cream cakes in the stores. What a mess! I don't think I let the ganache cool down enough before pouring it on the ice cream. It was like watching Frosty the Snowman melt. :(So I may try this again - but I am going to have to come up with a better way to keep the ice cream from melting during the building stage.
