Recipe: Dreamy Ice Cream Cake (Wilton Fanci-Fill cake pan recipe)

DREAMY ICE CREAM CAKE

"Fanci-Fill cake pans have an indentation for the filling in the center of the cake. Start by pressing softened vanilla ice cream into the pans to create the top and bottom halves of the cake. After removing the ice cream from the pan, add orange sherbet to fill the indentation. Press the two halves together and freeze several hours to allow the ice cream to firm up. Finish the cake off with sliced almonds and mandarin oranges and you're ready to serve."
