If you’re going to get hit in the face with something, being hit with an ice cream cake isn’t all that bad.
That’s exactly what happened to an ice cream shop manager in Rochester, NY earlier this year when a disgruntled employee waited until his last day on the job to take out his frustrations on his soon-to-be former boss. According to one article about the incident, “the manager went to pick up a ringing phone, no one was on the other line, and when he turned around he unexpectedly found himself face-to-face with an 80-ounce sheet of (ice cream) cake.”
The attacker is free on $1,000 bail with a trial set for April. He’s also forbidden to enter the ice cream shop ever again. If they banned him from ALL ice cream shops, that might be a suitable punishment for this senseless crime. And that’s not taking into account what should happen to him for wasting a perfectly good ice cream cake.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
Wow, that is a first. Instead of telling your boss you quit, you hit him with an ice cream cake, get a record and never get to enter an ice cream store again……..Yikes, what a loser.
Well, if he can’t go into an ice cream shop he can still get Turkey Hill at him local grocery store!
I love ice cream too much to waste it on someone I didn’t like!! barbara
You have to THINK before you act. What a waste of ice cream!
maybe it should have been a cake that was NOT frozen!I guess it didn’t brake the man’s nose?
If you’re looking to hit someone in the face with an ice cream cake, what would be the appropriate flavor? Maybe tin roof?
Quite Expensive cake, got an idea to name the cakes…rocky rochester….LOL
What a mistake he made
What about a little self control ?
The employee might have worked at Friendly’s but he certainly wasn’t friendly. That was an expensive cake to be throwing around. I think if you haven’t had a good day go home and relax with your favorite flavor of Turkey Hill. Your mood will only improve.
A frozen cake can be a lethal weapon under the right circumstances.
There You Go …name a new flavor , LETHAL SHEET CAKE….lol
I would think the appropriate icecream would be “Rocky Road”, because this is where the post employee is now..hope it wasn’t a frozen icecream cake, the impact could cause serious injury.
How long would it take for me to lick my own face? Not too long while I was cooling off.
bad way too cool off;
Hey, get your story straight, give credit where credit is due. This happened in Rochester, NEW HAMPSHIRE,
not New York!!! And remember it was a
frozen cake, that must have hurt.
He was disgruntled after spending every day in an ice cream shop?? What a nut!
He should be given community service. Make him feed the poor.
Assault with a deadly weapon. This is not funny at all. A cream pie would have been bad enough, but an ice cream cake could be deadly.
Not a smart thing to do!
maybe he should not have fired him
He should have never hired him!
That’s worse than throwing cooked rice at a wedding because your girl/boy friend married someone else.
What a story! Hope the ice cream cake was filled with Turkey Hill!
Hahahaha…that’s kinda hilarious…
I love your ice cream!
I agree – the waste of some perfectly good ice cream. Maybe he should just have pelted the manager with sprinkles!
crazy
What flavor?
Certainly wouldn’t waste good ice cream on someone I was mad at!!!!!
That would hurt, they aren’t very soft!
I know it isn’t really funny but I can’t stop laughing! lol
But, never on a sunday with a sundae
Way to waste a great ice cream cake!!!!
Not worth it!
What a waste of perfectly good ice cream!
Gosh, I hope the cake was a bit softened!!
I agree with alicelynne, I hope that cake was softened. What a waste of a good ice cream cake.
So sad his boss could have been severely injured! I hope the ex-employee learned a lesson and took some anger management courses.
He should never had applied for a job that he didn’t want to do. He deserves more than just a fine!
Unbelievable how some people don’t think before they act. The manager could have been hurt very bad. If he was a bad boss, then the employee should have told him off on his last day. Plus, what a waste of a ice cream cake!!
This should be an interesting trial.
OH MY, I hope the cake wasn’t frozen!!
haaaaaaaaaaaaa might be funny to some but i know the feeling just wack someone in the face but i would never do it . my sister did that to me we were shopping and i wasn’t paying any mine to her she took a chicken and hit me in the face we laughed so hardi hope the boss wasn’t hurt
Thats a sad thing to have to happen, People do not like getting let go on a job, I guess, never know what is going to happne any more at the work place, He hired him?
Thank goodness he didn’t work somewhere where they made items that could really hurt if you got hit in the face.
too bad it wasn’t video taped…he may have gotten on funniest home videos and won $$ to pay for his “crime” (of wasting perfectly good ice cream!). LOL!
Never believed in the cake in the face thing. Cake should always be consumed.
Terribly story, and terrible waste of ice cream!
Crazy story!
punishment – no more ice cream ever again; how wasteful.
This is the worst use of an ice cream cake that I have ever heard. If convicted, he should be sentnced to writing ‘I must not waste ice cream.’, 1 million times.
You got to look on the light side of things — really, I know it’s a waste of perfectly good ice cream, but a trial and jail for smashing a cake in someone’s face?
I just checked this story out on the internet and they said the flavor was Caramel Heath bar, and, yes, it was in Rochester, New Hampshire, and the manager got a bloody nose.
Ice cream cakes are frozen rock hard and I bet that really hurt! I wouldn’t have done that, but maybe a whip cream duel at 20 paces would have been the safer bet.
Ice cream in the face is better than mud in your eye.
CONFECTION CONFESSION
I was an ice cream scooper,
I’ve dipped a zillion cones.
I’ve pumped a ton of dairy cream and hot fudge…all alone.
Each of my creations
was met with a wide-toothed grin.
But my boss wouldn’t let me taste the stuff,
so I vowed to get even.
On my last day, he would pay!
So I turned in my 2-week notice,
and created this fantastic cake.
When we were alone,
(he’d just gotten off the phone)
I picked up the frozen solid cake
and smashed it right in his face.
I could see his nose was dripping blood
‘n I ran from that ice cream store.
I’ll never work that place again,
but I’d landed a vengeful score!
Now I face a sentence,
‘n I wonder how long I’ll be in.
I heard from a lad there that the food ain’t bad there…and that they serve ice cream in prison.
What flavor cake ??
I agree the guy should be banned from all ice cream shops…
