Red Velvet Cake (Blue Bunny)


If you are anything like me, you sometimes make your grocery purchases based on the packaging alone. So when you see the big head of Duff Goldman (of Charm City Cakes fame) you are somewhat turned off. I mean. I don't want the picture of some tv cake star on my ice cream carton.

But I am so glad I decided to swallow my pride in favor of the lush, lush offerings of Red Velvet Cake Ice Cream.

It is the perfect blend of vanilla -- not too strong, not too weak -- with actual bits of red velvet cake. Imagine the beauty of red velvet cake (my favorite!) paired with great ice cream (uhm, also my favorite!) and you have the world's most perfect ice cream. The vanilla quality is of note because it doesn't take a back seat to the cake, and the cake doesn't lose its cakey-ness as a result of being married to the ice cream. These aren't chunks of ice, friends. This is the real deal.

One serving is not enough. This is the kind of ice cream you remove the lid from...and deposit the lid right into the trash can. You won't be needing it. The only requirement for this stuff is a spoon and about half an hour on the couch.

For those who are as turned off by Duff as I am, I suggest bringing along a sharpie, as well, and making a game of mustache-making while you're enjoying the delectable treat inside the carton.

At roughly $4/carton, I promise you will not regret a cent spent on this treat. It's great for your good days, and it's even better on your bad days. My only caution is if you have loved ones expecting a piece of this cake-filled ice cream, you better buy more than one.

  1. I love red velvet ice cream! Of course, I have only tried Ben & Jerry's version but I will be looking out for this one too!

    1. I have NOT tried the Ben and Jerry's, but I suspect trying it might make for a perfect Blue Bunny vs. Ben and Jerry's future post!

  2. I enjoyed the B&Js but it took me a few bites to get used to tangyness of cream cheese frosting. I think I'd like this one better without that.

    1. The Blue Bunny is definitely more vanilla than it is cream cheese (and it's definitely not frosting consistency). But my interest is piqued in B&J. I didn't even know they made it!

    2. It's funny because the carton describes this as cream cheese frosting, but it's REALLY vanilla.

  3. I'm not a fan of red velvet cake solely because I dislike cream cheese frosting, but if the frosting here is actually vanilla, it's worth a shot. I don't think any of our local stores carry Blue Bunny.

    1. I didn't even realize it was technically cream cheese flavor because that's not how it tastes to me.

      You may not have Blue Bunny, but you have Blue Bell. Oh Blue Bell! There's a wealth of posts on that ice cream to write.
