We all know the feeling of an event coming up, don't we? If it's a small family celebration, how can you make it cosy and warm? And if it's a big event, how can you plan every detail without stress and make sure you don't leave anything important behind? One of the most important things you need to decide on is the main dessert, probably a cake. A unique ice cream cake, handcrafted for your event, will make your guests smile. How do you choose and buy the right one? Let us give you some tips on the different flavors, sizes and designs
The Occasion Matters
To begin with, it is important to understand which type of occasion you want to order an ice cream cake for. Consider the theme and style, the number of guests and the location. Here at B-iced, we treat every customer individually, and these details will help us to offer you the perfect cake and ensure it is delivered and served properly. For example, we usually make two- or three-tier wedding cakes, even for smaller groups of guests, with more sophisticated designs, because they will be the highlight of the table and create unforgettable memories. For birthday cakes, we usually offer more minimalist designs, but of course, you can be a little extra on your birthday. If you are planning a child's birthday, we try to reflect their favorite hobbies, colors or anything else they love while creating the cake. Please keep in mind that we obviously need more time to produce larger cakes. Please make sure you order your cake at least two weeks before the important date.
Flavors and Designs That Impress
How do you choose the right ice cream flavor? We don't just make a cake with one flavor of ice cream; we layer different flavors not only so they complement each other, but also so they look good when cut. You can purchase a standard cake on our website, or you can email us your favorite ice cream flavors, and we will create a custom combination just for you. Please do not forget to mention possible allergies.
What about the right design?
We offer three types of designs:
- Minimalist: The cake is covered with a mirror glaze in a specific style and color combination.
- Cakes decorated with berries or fruit: We place them on top of the mirror glaze and can add golden or silver flakes to make your dessert exceptionally elegant.
- Sophisticated chocolate sculptures: We gladly create individual chocolate sculptures to highlight the theme and importance of your event.
Customizing Your Cake
Okay, now that we've covered the basics, let's talk about the fun part: how to customize an ice cream cake for your birthday party or wedding. How do you know what size of cake to get for a certain number of guests?
To make it easier, we'll compare the size of cake portions to the maximum number of ice cream scoops an adult can typically eat: 2–3 scoops. This equals 130–150 g of ice cream cake per person. Multiply that by the number of guests, and you can easily determine the necessary cake size.
We sometimes receive the question, "I haven't found the right design on the website..." All the cakes you see in our online shop are examples of previous custom cake orders. This means you can tell us your ideas, and we will try to make them happen. You can also simply send us a picture of an example. By the way, the coolest thing about mirror glaze is that it creates a unique pattern every time, so you will get a cake that is one of a kind.
Tips for Serving & Storing
Where should you store an ice cream cake? Of course, you should store all frozen products in a freezer. We know not everyone has room in their freezer for an ice cream cake, especially a big one. This is why B-iced offers daily local delivery of ice cream cakes in Berlin at flexible hours.
Would you like to pick up your cake from our ice cream parlor in Berlin-Weißensee? No problem! Thanks to our special production technology, our cakes are very stable. You can carry them in a box for 1–1.5 hours.
If you put an ice cream cake in a freezer, however, we recommend taking it out 10–15 minutes before serving and using a hot knife to cut it.
