Hi anyone made an ice cream cake before my daughters not a cake person and has asked for an monster high ice cream cake.

what would be best to use for decorating, 

AI did a huge pile of icecream balls with nuts and fudge sauce and fruits all hidden in the layers... It's hard to explain but I made a tall cardboard tube, lined with baking paper, drop in a layer of scoops and then a topping, then more scoops and another topping... Up and up till you run out of icecream or space. It then goes in a chest freezer overnight. just before serving slide off the tube add hot fudge and giant sparklers! I planned on serving it out but people just dived in!

AI have made homemade ice cream but when I freeze it goes to hard same with softening ice cream think ill need to turn down freezer temp and try again
