Re: birthday cakes in Oz
I used to make a great ice cream cake.
Crush chocolate biscuits with a little bit of melted butter. Put it in the bottom of a springform pan and pat it down. Bake at 180 for about 10 minutes. Cool completely.
In a large bowl mix chocolate chip ice cream until you can stir it with a large wooden spoon (partly frozen, but not hard). Put a layer of ice cream about 1" thick on top of the cookie base. In another bowl melt about 1/2 cup peanut butter in the microwave. With a large spoon drizzle 1/2 of the melted peanut butter over the layer of ice cream. Put another layer of ice cream then another drizzle of peanut butter. Top with chocolate syrup and freeze.
When you go to serve it you can just take the outer rim off the pan and cut like a regular cake. Alternately you can make it in a pie dish and serve it like pie.

We had two birthday's over the Christmas break. For my birthday we ordered an ice cream cake from Wendy's. It was pretty good although I prefer the Dairy Queen ones in Canada. The Wendy's cake had a small chocolate cake base, followed by plain chocolate ice cream and chocolate topping.
For my daughters cake we went to the Cheescake Shop. She wanted a white cake with pink girly icing topped with strawberries (also had a whipped filling). It was really, really good. Unfortunately my daughter HATES cake and generally won't touch the stuff. She did try one bite and promptly spit it back out. She thought the cake was beautiful though, and the rest of us loved it.
I have no idea how I managed to have a child that does not like most sweets!

We used to get the Turtle Pie, I think that's what it's called.

Baskin and Robbins do lovely Ice Cream cake, and if you dont like that you could always go to the Cheesecake shop as they do really nice cakes there too, hope that this helps
