How much are Coldstone Creamery cakes?

[meloneyb21]

I'm desperate to try one and would just like to know just about how much they cost.....Also, are they as good as everyone says they are?

I bought one 2 years ago for my DD birthday, and it was not a big cake, and cost about 35.00. It was very expensive, and well....just ok. I wasn't worth $35.00.

 

[XYSRUS]

Yeah, I was just at our local store and was floored at the price, personally. It was 38 bucks. And it's good ice cream but...it's ice cream. I would maybe buy it once to try, but , that's just me.

I bought one for DS's b-day 12-04 and it was very small for $23.00. VERY good tasting, but not worth paying so much for such a small cake. Sometimes there are coupons in the sunday paper. You may want to wait for the coupon.

They range from $25 (for a 6" cake) to $60+ over by us. They look great, but I'm just not willing to pay that much.

Maybe you could compromise and get a couple of pints/quarts and have that along with a regular cake.

I agree. They are just too expensive and not really worth the money IMO. I could pay the same amount($35) and get a cake twice the size at Dairy Queen(which I love).

I think Coldstone is outrageously expensive on everything they serve. Nothing special either.

I think the one we got for a birthday this year was about 25, but it was welllll worth it! It was the cookie dough one...very good!

I would pay whatever they charged for a cold stone cake! YUM. They are usually $25-$35 for a nice sized one. There ice cream concoctions are great! Just dont let them talk you into a bigger sized one

Dairy Queen cakes are twice as good and half as much. We didn't like the Cold Stone Cake at all

Coldstone is too expensive in general. I paid $7 for 2 dishes of ice cream the one time I went there with some friends. I guess their thing is to mash it on the countertop and fold in toppings. I thought it was gross to put your ice cream on the counter first. I'm a scoop and eat kinda girl.

I would also recommend the DQ cakes, they are better than Carvel.

If you find the cake too expensive, you could make your own. If you have a springform pan you could bake a regular single layer cake in it (using less batter than usual, since the cake layer in an ice cream cake typically isn't that thick). Then buy a quart of whatever flavor of Cold Stone ice cream you want. Let it soften, spread it on top of your cake and freeze. Then pop the springform off and frost.

I'd never heard of Coldstone till I was in Chicago last week. Holy smokes!
I'm glad we don't have these in Canada, because I'd be a roly-poly lady if they did!

I'd be all over one of their cakes.

Wow, I had a totally different experience than the others here with DQ. I ordered the DQ cake to save money for my oldest dd's birthday and thought it was terribly bland and there was NO CAKE, only ice cream it seemed. Then.......

We ordered the cookie dough cake from Cold Stone and HAVE MERCY that cake was soooo yummy. It was definitely worth the money and if you let it thaw a bit, then the cake portion is so moist and delicious. We ate the entire thing in one evening and the other members of our family (who had the DQ cake the first time) said it was much much better! I think Cold Stone ice cream is completely different than the ice cream at DQ and I can't wait to have the strawberry cake for my b-day in July!

Our opinion in the end was that we would never buy another ice cream cake from DQ again.

Mmm! One of my coworkers brought one in for her birthday and it was SO good!! I'm talking, unbelievably good. It had some sort of red filling and chocolate ice cream and dark chocolate cake. So good. I think Coldstone is great! I love their ice cream. Yeah it's expensive, but around here they have student discounts and plus it's good! Much better than DQ or Baskin Robbins in my opinion.

I would get one. It's just one cake! And yeah it's a little expensive but it's good and you can try it. It won't kill the budget.

Also, the dishes are HUGE! The biggest one is only about $4.50 here and it's a TON of ice cream. Took me close to 45 minutes to finish and I LOOOVE ice cream.

We went to Coldstone Creamery once and didn't like the ice cream. We thought that the quality was pretty poor actually. The ice cream was overly sweet, not very creamy at all, and pumped full of air. The whole novelty is the mixing up of the ice cream with the toppings. In all honesty, I had a thing called a Blizzard or something like that from Dairy Queen a couple of years ago that was much better. Hagan Daz and Ben & Jerry's ice cream is far superior though....

Not impressed by Coldstone at all. We prefer Baskin Robbins!
