4th of July Ice Cream Celebration Cake
To make this a little more patriotic to celebrate the 4th of July, swap the rainbow sprinkles for a red, white and blue variety in both the cake and what's used to decorate the whipped cream. We used food-grade sparklers on top for some extra pizazz. Be sure to use food-grade sparklers; regular ones will leave a residue on the whipped cream that is not safe to eat.
