Fourth of July Ice Cream Cake

Each year, my family has a big get-together for the 4th of July. We have lots of random (but good) snacks sitting out all day, and we'll have bought a couple hundred dollars' worth of fireworks for after dark. But what we have never had is a good after-fireworks celebration treat. That is, until I made this cake this year.

Step 1: Basic Ingredients

There are only a few things you need for the main body of the cake:

1.5 quarts each of strawberry and vanilla ice cream
1 white (or yellow) cake mix
Blue food coloring

For the crust:

9-10 graham crackers (enough to make about 1.5 cups when theyre crushed)
1/3 cup sugar
1 stick butter

If you do make this, I recommend reading throught the whole instructable to make sure you have everything, since Ill be giving some necessary recipes later on.
