Jacob's 7th Birthday

Well, my Jacob is now 7 today! He is such an awesome kid! I think that he is going to do great things when he gets older. He's pretty special. Jake's got a great smile, loves playing with friends, enjoys sports (especially water sports ;-) ie. Water Guns). Today we had a few friends over and they played some games...bean bag toss,
and ran through the sprinkler to start with. The kids got tired of those activities, we all came into the house, Jacob opened his awesome presents from his friends and then we all had some ice-cream sandwich cake.

I'll tell you what, that ice-cream sandwich cake was one of the easiest cakes ever to make...
Ingredients:
12 Ice Cream Sandwiches
Whipped topping (the spray kind may be easier to use)
Candy of your choice (optional)
Ice Cream Topping Sauce (if desired)

First if you are using candy, then you need to put some candy in a bag & crush the candy into pieces to use on the cake. Then, lay out 4 of the sandwiches on a tray, long sides together. Next you cover them with the whipped topping ( I used the kind from the tubs and it was still a little frozen so it was harder to use than a spray kind would have been). After that you sprinkle the candy over the whipped topping and drizzle the sauce over the candy. Repeat this process with the rest of the sandwiches, you will have a 3-layer ice cream sandwich cake.
Oh my goodness is it ever good! Now I made my own carmel and didn't let it set up as candy instead I used it on top of the whipped topping then only did one more layer of the sandwiches and frosted the outside with whipped topping. Mostly because we were had a friend that came to the party had an allergy to peanuts and we wanted to take that into consideration when making our plans. You can generally makeshift recipes as to include everyone.
