Baskin-Robbins' Festive New Ice Cream Cake Is Equal Parts Spooky And Sweet
It's not a trick. The Baskin-Robbins Unicorn is getting dressed up for Halloween. And ice cream cake lovers are in for a spookylicious treat. According to the company, the cute-as-a-button Unicorn cake debuted last year as part of Baskin-Robbins' Creature Creations lineup. The original pastel-frosted frozen confection has a white chocolate horn and rainbow sprinkles. In its spooky-but-sweet incarnation, the Unicorn Zombie cake features an Oreo-dusted sugar cone horn and dripping "blood" red glaze on a crushed "dirt" Oreo-speckled base.
"This Halloween, we're excited to elevate our traditional Unicorn Cake with a spooky Zombie twist and to bring back a flavor that has resonated with so many Halloween ice cream lovers in recent years," said Shannon Blakely, vice president of marketing and culinary, Baskin-Robbins, in a company statement.
That means the Unicorn Zombie cake isn't the only treat in Baskin-Robbins' bag of tricks this Halloween. The ice cream brand is also rolling out limited-time swirls like Trick Oreo Treat. This flavor features orange creme-filled Oreo cookies in vanilla-flavored ice cream with bits of Butterfinger and Baby Ruth candy pieces.
Celebrate with spooky ice cream all month long

The festive limited-time ice cream flavor features gingersnap cookie crumbles mixed into a blend of seasonal pumpkin ice cream and classic cheesecake-flavored ice cream swirled with a ribbon of cinnamon cream cheese.
