Between the ice cream, sprinkles, and icing, you'll get the best of both birthday cake and an ice cream sundae. Friendly’s new Chocolate Frosted Birthday Cake Sundae Cone is a hybrid treat that starts with a [chocolate-coated sugar cone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchin-cookie-dipped-cone) topped with a scoop of [cake batter ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natures-premium-dessert-pearls-birthday-cake) that's filled with a blue icing center. The whole thing is then covered in a layer of chocolate and rainbow sprinkles. According to the packaging, the new flavor is a limited-edition, so it's likely only here for the summer season.
