As a mom of three kids in Oklahoma, I’m always on the lookout for budget-friendly yet delicious options to make our celebrations extra special. Dairy Queen has become one of my go-to spots, especially when it comes to ice cream cakes. Founded in 1940, Dairy Queen has been serving up iconic ice cream treats for decades, including their famous ice cream cakes that are perfect for any summer occasion.
Dairy Queen Cake Prices
As a kid growing up in the late 80s, I used to dream about DQ’s cakes that combine their world-famous soft serve with a fudgy, crunchy center (the more fudge, the better! PRO TIP: request double fudge).
You can choose from several cake types, including round cakes, sheet cakes, and their ever-popular Blizzard Cakes. Here’s a quick breakdown of their offerings:
| 8" DQ Round Cake | $32.99 | Serves 8-10 |
| 8" Blizzard Round Cake | $36.49 | Serves 8-10 |
| 10" DQ Round Cake | $36.49 | Serves 12-16 |
| 10" Blizzard Round Cake | $39.99 | Serves 12-16 |
| 10x14" DQ Sheet Cake | $40.49 | Serves 20-24 |
| DQ Cupcake | $3.29 | Serves 1 |
Dairy Queen Cakes By Occasion
Birthday Cakes
Dairy Queen’s birthday cakes are a huge hit at our house. You can customize them with a special message, and many locations offer themed designs, including popular characters for kids. For those who want something a bit different, the Blizzard Cakes are always a crowd-pleaser – combining either vanilla or chocolate soft serve with the classic Blizzard mix-ins like OREO® or Cookie Dough.
Does your child want a unicorn-themed cake? I recommend ordering Dairy Queen’s custom Rainbow cake and adding a unicorn cake topper – cheap and easy!
Graduation Cakes
Celebrate your graduate’s big day with a customized Dairy Queen cake featuring their school colors and a congratulatory message. These cakes are available in various sizes and can be ordered online or in person.
Unlike other branded bakeries, Dairy Queen does not offer a specific design for graduation. They suggest cakes with either roses or the Celebration Icing cake above…though they do also have a football cake if you’re looking for something a little more traditionally masculine.
Baby Shower Cakes
Ice cream cakes are becoming increasingly popular at baby showers, and Dairy Queen’s options don’t disappoint. Whether you want something in traditional pink or blue or a special theme, Dairy Queen offers a delicious and affordable way to sweeten your celebration.
Wedding Cakes
Did you know that you can have an ice cream wedding cake from DQ?! I’d be afraid the ice cream cake would sit out too long, melting until the ceremony, but it might be worth the risk with an excellent wedding coordinator or trusted friend in charge. Keep in mind that they don’t offer tiered cakes, so your options are round (8-10″, serving up to 10-16) and sheet cakes (up to 24 servings with the biggest 10×14″ sheet cake).

How to Order A Dairy Queen Cake
Ordering a Dairy Queen cake is simple and convenient. You can place an order online through Dairy Queen’s website by selecting your nearest location and choosing from a variety of cake designs, flavors, and sizes. The website allows you to customize your cake with personalized messages, images, and themed decorations. If you prefer, you can also order in person at your local Dairy Queen or by phone.
Dairy Queen typically requires 24 to 72 hours’ (it’s a full 3 days here in my town) notice before your cake is ready for pickup, depending on the level of customization and the specific location. It’s a good idea to place your order a few days in advance to ensure availability, especially during busy holiday seasons.
Overall, Dairy Queen provides a convenient and tasty solution for those of us who want to make celebrations special without breaking the bank. Whether it’s a birthday, graduation, or just a fun family night on a hot summer evening, their cakes are sure to be a hit!
