My Story With Labubu Ice Cream Cake

From My Asheville Kitchen to a Colorful Party Table

When I first heard about Labubu ice cream cake, it was from a mom at my daughter’s school. She’d ordered a Labubu birthday cake from a local shop, and when I saw it—tiny ice cream layers stacked under the most delightful Labubu cake topper—I was hooked. It reminded me of the joy I felt as a kid eating my first Baskin Robbins clown cone.

Living in Asheville, I try to keep desserts not only fun but also nourishing. And let me tell you, making a sugar-free version of Labubu ice cream cake Baskin Robbins-style was one of the most exciting kitchen challenges I’ve taken on. I replaced traditional sugary bases with monk fruit and allulose blends and crafted creamy layers that didn’t melt the moment they hit the air.

That’s how I started creating Labubu cakes that are both whimsical and worry-free. My first attempt had mismatched eyes and a crooked grin, but the joy it brought my daughter? Worth every misstep. Since then, I’ve designed Labubu cake ideas for birthdays, baby showers, and even quirky office parties—each with its own twist and sugar-free magic.

If you’re looking for a playful way to brighten someone’s big day—without the sugar crash—this cake is for you. Want something equally festive? You might love my Labubu cake or Cottage cheese chocolate mousse.

What Makes Labubu Cakes So Special?

The beauty of Labubu cakes lies in their charm. These cakes combine detailed visual design—often made with custom fondant or 3D-printed Labubu cake toppers—with delicious layered flavors that mimic ice cream shop favorites. The base is usually a moist sponge or ice cream sandwich-style crust, followed by creamy layers (like cookies ‘n’ cream or strawberry swirl), all stacked to form the perfect sliceable character.

This mix of visual whimsy and nostalgic flavor is why Labubu ice cream cake has taken off in party circles. From TikTok baking reels to birthday spreads, Labubu cakes turn dessert into decor.

How to Build a Labubu Ice Cream Cake – Step-by-Step

This method is freezer-friendly and requires no oven—just some patience and playfulness. Perfect for a hot-weather party!

Step 1: Make the base crust
In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and allulose. Press into a round cake pan or dome mold lined with parchment. Freeze for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Add first ice cream layer
Scoop your first flavor (e.g., vanilla) over the crust. Smooth it evenly with a spatula. Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.

Step 3: Add second layer
Add your second flavor (e.g., strawberry or chocolate). Smooth again and freeze until completely set—about 2 hours.

Step 4: Prepare whipped frosting
Whip the heavy cream with powdered sweetener until stiff peaks form. If you’d like to color part of it for Labubu’s face or ears, now’s the time.

Step 5: Decorate the cake
Unmold the frozen cake. Quickly frost with whipped cream. Use fondant or piped cream to create the Labubu look—large eyes, a button nose, ears, and a sweet grin. Add your Labubu cake topper last to keep it looking crisp.

Step 6: Freeze again briefly
Place the finished cake back in the freezer for 20–30 minutes to firm up before serving.

How to Store and Make a Labubu Ice Cream Cake Without an Oven

How to Store Your Labubu Birthday Cake (and Keep It Party-Ready)

If you’re prepping your Labubu birthday cake ahead of time, good storage is key to keeping it looking and tasting fabulous. Ice cream cakes, especially those with detailed decorations like a Labubu cake topper, need cold and care.

Storage tips that work:

• After decorating, freeze the entire Labubu ice cream cake uncovered for 20–30 minutes to set the frosting.
• Then wrap loosely in plastic wrap or place inside a tall cake box to avoid squishing the face or topper.
• Store flat in the freezer for up to 5 days.
• If using fondant or edible toppers, add those the day of serving to keep them looking fresh.

When it’s time to serve, transfer the cake to the fridge for 15–20 minutes to soften slightly. This makes slicing easier while keeping those crisp edges intact.

Can You Make a Labubu Cake Without an Oven?

Absolutely. That’s one of the most beautiful things about a Labubu ice cream cake—no oven required. This makes it ideal for summertime parties, dorm kitchens, or anyone avoiding heat.

Here’s what you’ll need instead of baking:

• A springform or silicone dome mold
• Sugar-free pre-made crust or cookies for layering
• Store-bought or homemade sugar-free ice cream
• A chilled area for assembly (cold counter or marble slab helps)
• A freezer that fits your cake mold flat

Use layering and freezing cycles to build structure. The crust sets firm without heat, and the ice cream stabilizes each tier. If you want extra flair without melting, prep a mini Labubu cake topper on a stick so it can go in right before serving.

Labubu Cake Designs That Steal the Show

If you’re throwing a birthday bash and want a cake that gets the kids excited before the first slice is even cut, Labubu cake design ideas are your new best friend. These playful cakes combine creativity, flavor, and charm in one eye-catching dessert.

Start by picking a theme—classic Labubu, superhero Labubu, or even Labubu in a rainbow outfit. Match the Labubu cake topper or fondant design to your chosen vibe. Some parents go big with full-face 3D molds, while others keep it simple with piped eyes, chocolate ears, and a quirky smile. Add sugar-free sprinkles, edible glitter, or even a surprise center filled with sugar-free chocolate chips.

For birthday parties, I love creating “mini Labubu cakes”—personal-sized dome cakes for each kid, topped with their own tiny character. Not only does it avoid slicing mess, but each child gets their own edible gift.

You can adapt the same decorating approach in my no-sugar mermaid cake tutorial or character cupcake ideas for party-perfect results every time.

This kind of themed display not only delights the kids—it makes for great photos too. Add colorful napkins, figurines, and even matching plates for the full party effect.
