Mom Makes My Birthday Cake, Food Comas Follow

A few days ago my mom asked me what kind of cake I wanted for my birthday. I said ice cream cake, maybe with some chocolate and peanut butter, and an oreo crust, if possible. Well it was possible as my mom, who is truly an outstanding cook, made the cake herself! Look at this magnificent tribute to the birth of her son:
Too bad my sister, who is away for med school, couldn't enjoy this cake. Hahaha!

The bottom was an oreo cookie crust, but not just the chocolate crumbs you get in the foodstore. Instead, mom crushes up whole oreos so that the crust contained the cream parts as well. The crust was a heavy duty base for peanut butter ice cream with, wait for it, pieces of peanut butter cups therein. The top layer was a duo of chocolate ice cream, and then a layer of fudge and drizzled peanut butter sauce. I'd be lying if I didnt admit that this was the kind of cake that could really incapacitate you.[FN1] But that's really a small price to pay for such an unbelievably delicious cake! Thanks, mom!
