Just normal chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, a "stabilized whipped frosting" I believe it was called, and a chocolate ganache on top.
The frosting and ganache came out sorta messy. Lots of big air bubbles in my frosting, and I didn't expect my ganache to almost instantly set when I started pouring it (didn't get the runny drips I was hoping for, given the cake was so cold) but I'm very proud of the layers!
Overall the taste was great and I got lots of remarks from my group about it.
Does anybody have any recommendations on how to reduce those big air pockets when frosting a cake?

You did good!
That looks fire! You can try a decorating comb, then go back over with a smooth edge.
It looks delicious! Well done!
That looks amazing!
Ice cream cakes are the best, and this looks delicious! Great job!

Not ugly at all! Ice cream cakes are no joke. Great ratio of ice cream to sponge.

You made from-scratch ice cream cake that didn’t turn into a puddle of frothy goo and icing?? Even if it was ugly (which it isn’t) that would be a huge accomplishment.
Looks delicious to me.
That looks delicious!
That looks ridiculously delicious & what an amazing friend you are! Well done!
It’s not ugly. It looks delicious. If you aren’t proud of your work, it’s ok. We collectively appreciate it, haha
Looks good looking to me. Throw in some edible glitter or confetti, you got it made
It looks delicious!!!!
That looks so good! Well done.
This looks amazing! In my neck of the woods people seem to think that an ice cream cake is just ice cream in the shape of a cake w some ganache and cookies on top. The art of actually having cake in there has slowly disappeared.
I love ice cream cake so much and I’m genuinely so happy to see this!!!!! Enjoy!
if it was my birthday cake i’d jump for joy and post about it
all cake is good cake!!
Oh my! My favorite kinda cake! Looks delicious !!
You did some great work. Friend is lucky to have you 👊 (fist bump, not punching you)
I think you did SUCH A GOOD JOB!!!
That looks great . And tasty !
The layers inside are great. The only “mistake” you made was trying to pipe a border AND have a drip on top. If you’d stuck with just piping (plus maybe some cherries or sprinkles) OR a chocolate drip, it would have been perfection.
It’s beautiful
Don’t think it’s ugly at all, it looks delicious!

It looks very good, not at all ugly! We’re our own worst critics 🫤
Not ugly! The outside looks great and the inside looks delicious.
Looks great!
It looks perfect!! 🤩😋What recipe did you use for the cake?
Looks amazing, especially inside. You did great!
Oh, sure… this doesn’t look like a cake on some TV show made by professional bakers. You know what it does look like, though? A lovingly-made and delicious cake I’d love to eat. That’s so much better!
I think it looks great. I’d have two pieces.
This is the type of cake I would see on the shelf and say, “GIVE ME THAT BEAUTY!”.
It looks perfect to me!
What a great friendship! 😊 The cake looks scrumptious!
It looks delicious!
The layers are perfect!
If you think this is “sorta ugly”, then the sun is “sorta important” for our planet. This looks amazing! I would absolutely love to have a slice!
