This cake is one of my faves, but I've always made it in a flat dish, not as an upright cake, it's seriously deeeelish!

If the cookies get too soft you can always scoop it into a bowl and use a spoon. Yum. Try this with loads of fresh strawberries…

But of course there are recipes that are best day-of. This one is great set overnight in the fridge. Kris — In most cases, yes. But of course there are recipes that are best day-of.

I know it's a such stupid question to ask but I never bake and your blog has inspired me to try your desserts recipes and so I was just curious about the timeframe of making recipes as I'm clueless about it.

If I make this a day before would that affect the cake in the taste, how it sits, the cream, etc.? I'm not much of a cook but I want to try my hands on this as it seems like it's something I could make...and not fail at it. lol. But I like to make it the day before because I'm planning to bring it in the office the next morning. Thanks!

I made it this past weekend and it was a huge hit. It makes such a great presentation but is so easy to make. My boys declared the recipe a "keeper". Thanks Deb!

Celebration (I worked Valentine's day, so we celebrated late). Couldnt find wafers so I subbed Oreo cookies (scraped off the cream) and they worked great. Plus, Oreos were on Sale. If you cant find the wafers, or if they're %5 a box (why??!), go ahead and do a swap. Ive had it with Oreos and with the Wafers and couldnt tell the difference. It was a hit... and, to tell the truth, I just snuck a piece at shortly after 9 in the a.m. Made a version of this with pink whipped cream for a Happy February 15th!

Just wanted to say thank you for posting this recipe. My son who turned 6 yesterday LOVED it!!! Oddly enough, he doesn't like traditional cakes (or chocolate for that matter) but he saw the picture of the Icebox Cake and quickly declared, "Mom, that's the cake I want!!!". We've been snowed in here in the DC are for a few days now and this cake was a highlight. Hi Deb. Just wanted to say thank you for posting this recipe. My son who turned 6 yesterday LOVED it!!!

We have always made it with peppermint candy...smashed into bits with the rolling pin and stirred into the whipped cream.
