Slasher Mask Ice Cream Cake

This puff pastry slasher mask ice cream cake is ridiculously easy to make, and looks completely disturbing.  It's perfect for your next Halloween party or slasher movie marathon - just be sure to serve with the biggest knife you own!

Step 1: Tools and Ingredients

Ingredients
1 package puff pastry
~ 2 quarts strawberry ice cream
handful fresh strawberries 
strawberry jam (optional)

Tools
baking sheet
aluminum foil
waxed paper or parchment paper
rolling pin (optional)
knife (optional)
straw (optional)
oven-proof head-shaped base (I used a plaster cast of scoochmaroo's face, but you could also use wadded-up paper and/or foil balls, the underside of a face-shaped cake pan, or anything roughly oval (a squash, a bowl) with a nose-shape attached.)

Thanks!

Fabulously creepy looking, and excellent step-by step instructions. I know everyone is using the same adjective, but creepy fits better than anything.

As a bonus, it also looks delicious.

Thank you! And creepy is definitely a compliment. :)

I've never looked so good! So at what point was it that my head cracked in half?

[canida]

I don't know if it was upon heating or cooling - the aluminum foil hid the crack until I unwrapped it!

Thanks again for donating your head. :D

That is so creepy! BTW, your face looks delicious. LOL!

Creepy... but technically-speaking... this is more of a pie than a cake.

Just sayin'. ;-)

You make a good point - I hadn't thought about it that way! It really is a double-crust pie. :)
