National Ice Cream Cake Day invented by Thomas Roy is an American film, television and voice actor.
An ice cream cake is a cake with ice cream as the filling for a swiss roll or a layer cake. A simpler no-bake version can be made by layering different flavors of ice cream in a loaf pan. No one knows for certain who came up with the ice cream cake or even when it originated. Multiple theories abound about this invention. Some food historians believe the sixteenth century was when the initial versions of the ice cream cake came to be.
Ice cream cake became popular in America in the late 1800s. The first commercial ice cream cake was made by the F.W. Woolworth Company in 1898. The cake was a chocolate sponge cake filled with vanilla ice cream and decorated with chocolate icing.
Thanks to a bombardment of TV ads from companies like Baskin Robbins, Friendly's and Carvel (remember Fudgie the Whale and Cookie Puss?), ice cream cakes were all the rage in the 80s.
