Rocket Cake
Not your ordinary birthday cake, this dessert requires almost no countdown-just start with a purchased ice cream cake roll, then frost and decorate it for takeoff. (We used construction paper to make the rocket's fins and cone.)4-6 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 30 min.
Ingredients
- 1 prepared ice cream cake roll (1-1/4 pounds)
