Sonic recently introduced a tasty new dish that puts a spin on traditional birthday cake. For many children, birthdays come with a choice between ice cream or cake for dessert. This new dish ensures that no child ever has to make the decision between two beloved desserts again.
The new hybrid dessert is available either as a shake or a cone. The 'Ice Cream Cake Cones' features decadent ice cream, flavored syrup and a maraschino cherry stuffed inside of a crispy waffle cone. The 'Ice Cream Cake Shakes' features the same toppings blended into a thick milkshake consistency. Each of the menu items is available in three varieties, which include Strawberry Shortcake, Oreo Cake and Vanilla Birthday Cake.
The hybrid desserts offer a delicious and unexpected twist on traditional birthday cake and will satisfy one's sweet tooth.
