Classic DQ Cake vs. Blizzard Cake — What's the Difference?
- Classic DQ Cake — Standard vanilla and chocolate soft serve with fudge and crunch layers. The original DQ celebration cake. Available in 8-inch and 10-inch.
- Blizzard Cake — Uses a specific Blizzard flavor (Oreo, Cookie Dough, Reese's, or Choco Brownie Extreme) blended into the soft serve layer. The actual mix-in pieces (cookie pieces, candy, brownie) are distributed throughout the cake. Costs more than the classic version.
- Sheet Cake — Rectangular format for large events. Feeds 24–32 people. Available in classic DQ flavor.
