Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Cake

Dear Sis,

My need for thrift often pushes me into new adventures. William wants ice cream cake for his birthday. The idea of buying ice cream cake for 25 people makes me cringe. I can’t be that hard to make I thought! …and I was right. It isn’t hard. It just requires a shelf cleared in the freezer and two days to perform all the freezing between very simple steps.
