Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Kitchen at Ice Cream Cakes Melbourne

Every celebration starts somewhere.
For us, it usually begins before the first candle is even found.

The day starts early at Ice Cream Cakes Melbourne — someone laughing about something silly, someone opening a freezer, someone deciding which flavour feels “right” today.

This is how a tub of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream slowly becomes a cake that people remember.

💡 How Our Mornings Actually Look

The kitchen wakes up fast.
Freezers open, tubs stack up, someone asks, “Whose birthday cake is this one?”

We don’t just think about flavours; we think about the people waiting for them:

• A kid turning six

• A couple who forgot to plan but still want something special

• An office team celebrating surviving the week

Some days Chocolate Fudge Brownie feels right.
Some days Strawberry Cheesecake fits the mood.

Every tub has its own personality, so we play around until it feels honest.

🎨 How the Cake Takes Shape

From the outside, it looks easy — but it’s a slow, steady job.

We press the ice cream down by hand:
not too hard, not too soft.
There’s a “feel” to it that only comes after doing it a hundred times.

Then the fun extras go in:

• cookie bits

• a swipe of caramel

• fudge that never sits in a straight line

• a crunchy base (when the cake needs texture)

These small touches give the cake life.
It stops being “just dessert” and becomes a slice someone remembers years later.

Decoration has its own mood.
Some days it’s soft colours.
Some days it’s messy swirls that somehow look perfect.

We never copy.
We just follow what the cake feels like.

🍳 The Team Makes the Magic

If you stood in our kitchen for five minutes, you’d get it.

No one moves alone.
Someone’s layering.
Someone’s whipping topping.
Someone is hunting for a missing box.
Someone else is fixing a tiny detail because they can’t help themselves.

It looks casual, but it’s really a rhythm —
a small team running on instinct and coffee.

Every cake gets a piece of everyone.

That part never makes it to the menu, but it should.

🍰 How the Day Winds Down

When the last order is sealed and resting in the freezer, the whole room softens.

Quiet.
Calm.
A quiet kind of proud.

Every cake is about to walk into a story we will never see, but we still feel connected to it.

Before leaving, someone always looks at the lineup and says:

“These look good today.”

And that’s enough.
No dramatic endings — just a good feeling.

🎉 From Our Hands to Your Table

At Ice Cream Cakes Melbourne, we don’t try to be fancy.

We just want to make something that makes the moment better.

Ben & Jerry’s helps, of course —
but the rest comes from a team who care a little too much about tiny details.
