Tasty, but slightly freezer burned. Or maybe a bit melted then slowly refrozen, making the texture similar to that of freezer burn. It tastes great and fresh though, so probably just a shipping issue.

Delicious. The ice cream is light and melts instantly in your mouth. The cake part is soft. The ice cream as a whole is sweet, but not too sweet. And it's a pretty good size. It's a good alternative if you crave for an ice cream cake, but don't want to spend too much or eat too much. 10/10 will buy again.

The delivery time kept getting delayed and the ice pack was too small, so I was worried that it might have melted a lot, but it didn't melt as much as I thought, so I froze it a little and ate it. It was delicious because I ate it after a long time.
