A Skipper Dipper Ice Cream Cake adds a delightful, extra special touch to any party or BBQ. For over 30 years, we’ve been making our cakes daily in our store– so we know they’re always fresh and tasty. Here’s a glimpse behind the scenes of the making of one of our cakes.
Step 1: Build Vanilla Foundation Layer
First, we freeze our cake pans to ensure that the ice cream will stay frozen as we prepare the ice cream layers. Using Vanilla Soft Serve, we then create the base layer of the cake, filling the bottom half of the pan. The pan then goes back into the freezer to firm up before the next step, adding the middle layer of crunchies. FYI – our cakes come in multiple sizes to accommodate any size crowd: in 7”, 8”, and 9” round, and small and large sheets.
Step 2: Add Delicious Cake Crunchies
We’ve heard customers refer to this stuff as “edible gold” and we know why. A combination of ground chocolate cookies and chocolate hard shell, it takes an ordinary cake to a whole new level. After the vanilla foundation has had sufficient time to freeze up, we then layer this rich chocolatey goodness on top before adding the next layer of ice cream. It then goes back into the freezer for more firming.
Step 3: Chocolate Top Layer
After the chocolate crunchies have rested, the final layer to our ice cream cakes is chocolate soft serve, which is added on top of the chocolate crunchies. It is smoothed out to prepare the surface for icing.
Feeling adventurous? We can make all of our cakes with any flavor of soft serve in our shop – with over 36 flavorings – the possibilities are endless.
Step 4: Icing
After freezing the cake overnight, we release the cake from its pan and ice the next morning. We use the same icing common in key lime pies.
Step 5: Decorate
Once the cake is iced, it is time for decorating. Our cake decorator pipes the borders of the cakes, writes custom inscriptions and adds confetti sprinkles to finish it off.
And Voila!
Finally, with the sprinkles border and message in place, it is ready to be boxed, wrapped in ribbon and picked up. For information on ordering a Skipper Dipper Ice Cream Cake, give us a call or click here.

We’ve exclusively used Zeroll Professional scoopers in our shop since we first opened our doors on July 4th, 1978. In fact, the vast majority of the Zerolls we bought in ‘78 are still in service today over 33 years later. (The others were taken by some of our Authorized Dippers in a bit of unauthorized memento collecting.) Zerolls are known as the Cadillac of ice cream scoops in the industry for their classic design and quality engineering, and we’re now offering our patrons the opportunity to own one of their own for home use. Engraved with the Skipper Dipper logo on the handle, these limited edition scoopers make a handsome Father’s Day gift, a memorable housewarming/wedding present or a beloved collectible for long time Skipper Dipper fans. Limited edition, available while supplies last in store and online. Made in the USA in Ft Pierce, Florida. Handwash only.
