I grew up hearing Tom Carvel’s raspy voice in those almost campy television ads touting Fudgie the Whale. Tom was so down-to-earth and so committed to his whale-shaped ice cream cake! Apparently, the executives were not so sure a fish-shaped cake and mascot would sell ice cream cakes, but boy, were they wrong. Fudgie the Whale is the stuff of legends and still highly popular. I totally get it. Who wouldn’t love layers of chocolate and vanilla ice cream with that delicious chocolate crunch, all of it covered in what else? FUDGE. Say it again. FUDGE! Nom nom. I was always excited when we got Fudgie the Whale to celebrate a birthday! What about you? Are you an ice cream cake devotee? P.S. I have no books remotely connected to ice cream cake. I can’t even imagine writing one into one of my romantic suspense books! Who has time for ice cream cake when bullets are flying? But in a contemporary romance, definitely. I’m going to have to set aside another series like the At the Shore series. I miss my contemporary romance! LOL! If you haven’t read the At the Shore series, grab the first book, ONE SUMMER NIGHT, a Publishers Weekly Top 10 romance, for only 99 cents at https://amzn.to/4o0DtCW.
