Wanting to make an ice cream cake

I'm new here...this is my first post.  I'm an amateur cake maker...I mostly just do it for fun and because the local bakeries wanted an arm and a leg to make the cakes I had wanted for my daughters...I now understand why...it's a lot of work !!  But I do enjoy doing it :)

Anyway, I received a Kitchen Aid for Christmas and also the ice cream maker attachment for the mixer.  So now my creative side is screaming ICE CREAM CAKE at me and I can't turn it off  

I'm going to start browsing this website, but thought maybe someone on the forums might be able to start me off in the right direction :)  I am thinking of a Neapolitan cake (layer of vanilla, some fudge, and a layer of strawberry) for my husband's birthday in March...so I have some time to experiment.  I welcome any tips, tricks, and advice. 

Thank you!

lol!  OMG...I have to exercise some serious willpower to not eat a ton of everything I make.  I think my first step will be to just make the ice cream and get it to the consistencies I want it ??  And learn how to work fast with children running around me so that the ice cream doesn't melt the second I start to assemble or frost :/ 

I think it's going to be tricky...lol.  But I appreciate the good luck...I'll have to post again if I manage to pull it off!!

That's a good idea :)  I have two refrigerator/ freezers, so I can definitely utilize one just for the cake!! 

Thanks Ellavanilla!!  I didn't even think to use a spring form pan!!  Perfect...thank you!
