Handcrafted Ice Cream Cakes: A Celebration Worth Waiting For

When it comes to celebrating life's special moments, nothing quite compares to the joy of a handmade ice cream cake from Bears Ice Cream Imaginarium. Each cake is a labour of love, meticulously crafted in our Whitstable kitchen by Mr Bear himself, Philip Harrison, using the same award-winning approach that's made us Kent's Best Food & Drink Producer 2025.

The Art of Ice Cream Cake Making

Forget everything you think you know about ice cream cakes. At Bears, we don't do ordinary. Every single cake that leaves our kitchen is handmade from scratch, combining layers of our imaginative ice cream flavours with carefully selected ingredients sourced from Kent's finest producers. It's not just a dessert—it's a joyful journey of taste that transforms any celebration into an unforgettable experience.
Mr Bear approaches each cake with the same creativity and attention to detail that earned us Gold and Bronze awards at the 2024 Taste of Kent Awards. Whether you're dreaming of our award-winning Blueberry & Lavender Jam, the indulgent richness of Brownie, or the surprising delight of Miso-Banana-Butterscotch Pudding, every flavour tells a story of innovation and craftsmanship.

Fresh, Local, and Lovingly Made

Our commitment to quality starts with our ingredients. We source fresh fruit and vegetables from Kent—the Garden of England—and use Kentish Milk for our scoop range. This farm-to-tub philosophy means that when you order a Bears ice cream cake, you're not just getting a dessert; you're getting the very best that our local landscape has to offer.
Each cake is made to order in our Whitstable production kitchen, ensuring maximum freshness and allowing us to create something truly special just for you. From classic combinations to bespoke creations, the possibilities are as limitless as your imagination.

Planning Your Perfect Celebration

Good things come to those who wait—but not for too long! Our handmade ice cream cakes require a 4-day lead time, giving Mr Bear the time needed to craft your celebration centrepiece with the care and attention it deserves. This isn't mass production; it's artisanal ice cream making at its finest.
Ready to make your next birthday, anniversary, or special gathering truly memorable? Here's how to get your hands on one of our spectacular cakes:
  • Order in advance: Give us 4 days' notice to ensure your cake is ready when you need it
  • Pick up from Whitstable: Collect your cake from our flagship store, where it's been lovingly crafted
  • Choose your flavours: Select from our range of award-winning ice cream flavours or discuss a custom creation

More Than Just a Cake

Since 2016, we've been on a mission to create ice cream that brings joy and sparks wonder. Our ice cream cakes are the ultimate expression of that mission—a celebration in frozen form, handcrafted with love and bursting with imaginative flavours you won't find anywhere else.
