Passionate frozen dessert enthusiasts dedicated to helping you celebrate
Ice Cream Cake Australia was born from a simple frustration that many Australians share: the overwhelming challenge of finding the perfect frozen dessert for a celebration. Back in 2024, our founding team gathered around a poorly-stored, slightly-too-soft ice cream cake at a birthday party in Melbourne. As we watched it slowly lose its shape on the serving table, we realised something important—most people don't know the first thing about choosing, storing, or serving ice cream cakes properly.
That moment sparked a conversation that would eventually become this website. We discovered that while there were plenty of places to buy ice cream cakes online, there was a remarkable lack of genuine, helpful information. How long can you leave an ice cream cake out before serving? What's the difference between an ice cream cake and a gelato cake? Which brands actually deliver Australia-wide? These were questions we couldn't easily find answers to.
So we set out to create the resource we wished had existed. Our small team of frozen dessert enthusiasts began researching every aspect of ice cream cakes—from the manufacturing processes that different brands use to the science behind achieving that perfect balance of soft ice cream and stable cake layers. We studied the tempering curves that premium brands follow, learned about the role of stabilisers in maintaining texture during transport, and even consulted with pastry chefs who specialise in frozen desserts.
At Ice Cream Cake Australia, we believe that every celebration deserves a showstopping centrepiece. We also believe that making informed purchasing decisions shouldn't require hours of research. That's why we've dedicated ourselves to becoming Australia's most trusted source for ice cream cake information, reviews, and buying guides.
We're not just another affiliate marketing site throwing up product links. We genuinely care about the frozen dessert experience—from the anticipation of cutting into a perfectly frozen cake to the satisfaction of watching your guests enjoy every bite. We understand the panic of realising your cake is too hard to cut, or worse, the disappointment of soggy cake layers that weren't properly separated from the ice cream.
Every piece of content on this website goes through a rigorous editorial process. Our guides are based on extensive research, industry best practices, and real-world experience. When we recommend storage times, serving temperatures, or specific products, we're drawing on knowledge that we've accumulated through careful study and testing.
We partner with Amazon Australia because they offer reliable delivery, genuine customer reviews, and competitive pricing. When you purchase through our links, we earn a small commission—this helps us keep the site running and continue producing helpful content. Rest assured, our recommendations are based solely on product quality and value, never on commission rates.
Our team brings together diverse backgrounds united by a shared love for frozen desserts and a commitment to helping Australian families celebrate better. From birthday parties in Brisbane to summer weddings in Sydney, we've collectively experienced the joy (and occasional mishaps) of serving ice cream cakes at hundreds of events.
