POst #105: We All Scream For Ice Cream

Happy Spring Everyone! We are enjoying very nice weather here in H-Town. It is absolutely perfect. Well, today, my wonderful man left to go make us some money. I am sad, but am happy to share this video we made for my food blog before he left. He is introducing me to a new medium to help me share my food quests with you, so please entertain my humble new beginning into video land. Now, I will have to struggle with editing video.  Oh, well, it will be fun.

Tomorrow, I will post my recent cakes and chicken enchilada casserole.

Please let me know what you think about the following Ice Cream Cake video, and yes, constructive criticism is appreciated!




So, to recap from the video, it can be simply put as this:

1) Layer a cooled cake or any premade cake.
2) In a parchment paper-lined pan, add bottom cake layer, then top with softened ice cream, then continue until done with layers. Think lasagna.
3) Set ice cream cake in freezer for an hour or two.
4) Remove cake and frost it with whipped cream and toppings.
5) Freeze cake for an additional hour or so.
6) Set cake out for 20 minutes or so before serving.

I was gonna take a picture of the sliced cake to present to you, but it is already gone! So, I guess it was a success.

Have a wonderful Saturday! We are headed to the park.

Great video! My brother has been trying to get me to add video to my blog, I haven't had the time to consider it yet :)

Great idea with the video! You are a natural in front of the camera. I love your Sandra-Lee-Semi-Homemade style of ice cream cake. I'm sure for a busy mom like you, it's much easier to get pre-made things at the grocery store. Your daughter is adorable! Keep up the great blog!

Great job with the video, you were a natural! I hate myself on video, so I don't think it was for me. I hear you on the hubby leaving, mine travels alot, but he's so wonderful that it is worth it.

Ummmmmmmmm, this sounds too fanstastic for words : ). I can't hear anything on my computer right now so I can't listen to you, but you look cute while you are explaining everything : ).
