It’s made to look like ice cream, with cake layers of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry…same for the icing. It's aptly named Neapolitan. The decoration on top is a rounded scoop of Neapolitan ice cream, frozen and dipped in chocolate.

 (A perfect finale to that ravioli lunch!)

where the family...
