Homemade Ice-cream cake for farewell party

Hello folks!

Wanted to share one memorable event held recently..

My group of friends..17 of us, had secretly planned a farewell party for 2 of our dear friends.

As both were very close to me i decided to host the party at my place and bake a cake for them.

These 2 friends were unaware of the farewell, accepted my invite thinking it to be a casual coffee party :))

Few of us gathered early n decorated my house with farewell banners..everyone turned ahead of time with some snacks to present to thses 2 special friends.

All were excited to welcome the 2 ladies and see their reactions :)

Finally the guests of honor came and realised what the gathering was about, blushed,got emotional,stood there for a sec and hugged everyone..what a sweet moment that was!

Then we had the cake cutting ceremony...all were startled to see my cake and couldn't believe it to be home made..

our two friends too forgot to cut the cake and started staring at it :))

I had made an icecream cake for the occasion as it was the month of May,best time to enjoy cool things :)

It was chocolate rasberry ice-cream cake..with some buttercream flowers on it and personal message.

My dear friends were very touched and said they will cherish this day forever! everyone enjoyed the cake and carried it as well :))
Now that was a true compliment i feel..

Sharing the pic and recipe for u guys..enjoy and feel free to write to me :)
