So you’re at a birthday party and it’s time for cake and ice cream. Which do you enjoy more? Cake? Ice cream? Both equally? Me personally, I like ice cream much more than cake but I DO enjoy the two together. But I know preferences vary just like personalities so I pose this question to the entire Doping community…Cake or ice cream??
Cake…no question about it. My answer is probably a bit skewed by the fact that I’m allergic to milk, but still…cake.
I can eat ice cream any old time. If I’m at a birthday party, it’s all about the cake.
Cheesecake!
ETA: I don’t like ordinary cake, so if there is no Cheesecake it will be the ice cream.
I don’t actually like ice cream very much. It’s fine, but meh. If it’s good cake, it’ll be cake every time.

Death.
–whoops. Ice cream, sorry.
Same here.
Normally, ice cream gets the nod but cake is party food.
And don’t put ice cream on my cake. Ruins two perfectly good desserts.
Ice cream cake?
Yes
A little of each to avoid being a party pooper. Rather have pizza.
Ice cream, easy.
“Or”? Cake and ice cream are such a great combination for what I call gastronomic alchemy. They don’t even have to mix; when they are simply next to one another on the same plate, both are improved.
Ice cream.
There’s just something about cake…The consistency, always an overabundance of overly sugary frosting, the abnormal looking colors, it all churns my stomach for some reason. One of of the few foods that does that. When presented with a piece, I decline about nine out of ten times and just have ice cream instead. That ten percent where I accept is when I go “Hey, I haven’t had cake in a while this might be better than I rememb—oh. Nevermind.”
Ice cream trumps cake. If we were playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, ice cream, cake, Ice Cream would beat Cake.
Ice cream, hands down. Unless it’s homemade strawberry shortcake. I’m not a big frosting fan, except for whipped cream. In fact, my wedding cake was a cheesecake, so I’m a non-fan of regular cake!
OK- sugar cone or cake cone?
Me- either, but a slight nod to the cake cone (ironic, eh?).
Moved MPSIMS --> IMHO.
It depends on the cake and the ice cream. If we’re talking mediocre cake with that gross crisco icing versus plain normal vanilla ice cream, then ice cream all the way. If we’re talking a moist, flavorful, homemade concoction versus gourmet ice cream, it’s a tough choice but the cake usually wins.
Moving thread from IMHO to Cafe Society.
I don’t like cake and I love ice cream. The choice is easy.
It depends on if I am watching what I eat. Four hundred calories of cake (a little more than a cupcake!) is a lot less satisfying that 400 calories of ice cream (a scoop in a cone!), but 1000 calories of really good cake (a nice, generous slice, not grocery store vanilla) is more satisfying than a thousand calories of ice cream (a double scoop sundae).
So if it’s a minor party and I am not indulging myself, a scoop of ice cream. If it’s a special occasion and I am throwing caution to the wind (and it’s good cake), a big ol’ slice of cake.
