Happy Potter

Ugh! I've waited too long to post this and now cannot for the life of me find the cake recipe I used!  It was perfect because it was one that had the right ratios to make 2 layers red velvet, 1 layer white cake. But, alas, alack--after numerous google searches, the recipe remains elusive.

This was my first ice cream cake, and I learned an important lesson: make sure the ice cream filling is conpletely frozen entirely before putting the next layer on.  Unfortunately (and mostly due to time constraints) I piled the ice cream and multiple layers on all at the same time and (as I should have expected) the ice cream squished out the sides and then froze, making the cake to ice cream proportions not what I had hoped for (i.e. too heavily cake).  Otherwise it turned out well and was one of many great parts to our Potter-filled weekend!
