Instructions

Line an 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pan with plastic wrap, ensuring there is significant overhang on the sides to use as handles later.
Unwrap the ice cream sandwiches and cut them in half; stand the pieces vertically around the perimeter of the pan with the cut-side facing down.
Soften half of the ice cream in a bowl and stir until it reaches a thick, pourable consistency, then pour this mixture into the center of the sandwich ring.
Place the pan in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the structure to firm up completely.
Remove the cake from the pan by lifting the plastic wrap handles and place onto a chilled serving plate.
Top with scoops of the remaining ice cream, invert the sugar cones onto the scoops, and drizzle with Chocolate Magic Shell and candy toppings.

Notes

To ensure a perfectly clean presentation, work quickly in a cool kitchen and store the cake in the coldest part of your freezer to maintain its architectural integrity. Using a variety of ice cream flavors for the center can create a fun color contrast and surprise when the cake is finally sliced.
