I grew up in a family that couldn't get enough Carvel. Every birthday: Carvel cake. I love Carvel ice cream cake.
Problem: Carvels are in slightly more abundance out east than they are where I currently live. So it's been a long time since I had a Carvel cake for me. And several family members called to tell me to get myself a birthday cake and celebrate...but I haven't seen a Carvel outlet here since I moved.
Solution: Find the nearest Carvel. There's a focator on the website that spots Carvel stores AND supermarket partners who sell premade cakes. I first searched the supermarket partners because I thought it'd be a longshot to find a franchise store around here. The closest supermarket was more than 60 miles away. Mmmm...tough choice.
But then I changed the locator flag to "franchise." Believe it or not, there's one about a 30 mile drive from my house. So...roadtrip! Found it!
When I picked up the cake they asked if I wanted anything written on it. Nope, I said, but can you draw? The clerks looked at me funny and said no. I held out my kangaroo keychain and said, Eyeball this and do it on the cake. One was brave enough, but was worried that he'd be ruining my cake. Cakes are meant to be ruined, I said. So off he went and produced the doodle you see. In green icing.
And the cakes are just as tasty as I remember. Watch out, local friends with birthdays coming up. I know where there's a Carvel and I'm not afraid to use it. And any day's a Cookie Puss or Fudgie the Whale day.

xD I don't think I've ever had one, but I noticed we had the cakes in a nearby grocery store when I worked there. I will tell you one thing, though. They are a pain in the butt to draw or write on. The icing just doesn't like to stick on there.
>_> I could've drawn a better one for you. But I live way down south and that wouldn't be good for the cake ;3

You know, that's a pretty awesome cake and a cool packaging. I thought that the slice of cake was a REAL slice. It wasn't only till I took a second look that it's part of the packaging.
Oh... how did your ice-cream cake taste? I only ask as I myself have never indulged in such a delicacy of a cake.
