Steps:
- Trim the tops of the cakes to make them level. Stack the cakes on a cardboard round, spreading buttercream between each with an offset spatula. Set aside 1/2 cup buttercream in the refrigerator for the ice cream scoop.
- Transfer the layer cake to a turntable. Cover with a thin layer of buttercream (this is the crumb coat). Refrigerate until just set, 10 minutes. Cover with more buttercream, smoothing it with a bench scraper.
- Hold the icing comb against the side of the cake (with the grooves against the frosting) and slowly rotate the turntable to make grooves in the buttercream. Freeze the cake 15 to 20 minutes.
- Tint 1 cup buttercream red. Transfer to a piping bag. Pipe into every other groove on the cake. Smooth with a bench scraper, rotating the turntable (if it looks messy, keep smoothing until the stripes are clean). Freeze the cake 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the ganache: Heat the heavy cream until steaming, then pour over 1 cup white chocolate chips. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Add a few drops of white food coloring. Pour into a squeeze bottle.
- Decorate with more sprinkles around the upside-down ice cream cone.
- Gently squeeze the ganache down the sides of the cake to make drips, then squeeze the remaining ganache over the top; smooth with an offset spatula. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in the microwave.
- Dip the cone in the white chocolate, then in sprinkles. Scoop the chilled 1/2 cup buttercream onto the cake using an ice cream scoop. Insert a lollipop stick into the scoop and cake; use it to support the cone.

Steps:
- Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with a parchment paper circle.
- Cover the bottom of the pan with the pound cake, using any extra pieces to line the sides of the pan if desired. Scoop the chocolate ice cream onto the cake layer. Spread with an offset spatula to make a smooth top. Scoop the strawberry ice cream over the chocolate layer and smooth the top. Scoop the pistachio ice cream over the strawberry layer and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Unmold the cake by running a knife around the edge of it, then unhinge the springform and remove. Invert the cake onto a sheet of plastic wrap and remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment. Place a plate on the bottom and invert once more.
- Put the heavy cream, chocolate syrup, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl and whip with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. (This makes enough frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake with additional to pipe decorations if desired.)
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream frosting and sprinkle with the pistachios. If the cake begins to get too soft, put it back into the freezer for a few minutes.
- Freeze another 1 1/2 to 2 hours or overnight. Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Line a 9-inch round cake pan with plastic wrap or waxed paper. Fill with softened ice cream. Place in the refrigerator until hardened, at least 3 hours.
- When the ice cream has been in the freezer for 2 hours, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the bottom and sides of two 9-inch round, nonstick cake pans.
- Place chocolate cake mix in a large bowl. Add 1 cup water, 1/2 cup oil, and 3 eggs; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- In another large bowl, repeat Step 2 with the strawberry cake mix.
- Pour 1/2 of the chocolate batter into one of the prepared pans and 1/2 of the strawberry batter into the remaining pan. Discard remaining batter or save for another use.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 24 to 29 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
- Place the chocolate cake on a serving plate with the top side down. Pull the ice cream layer out of the pan with the plastic wrap and place it on top of the chocolate cake. Place the strawberry cake on the ice cream with the top side up. Frost cake with whipped topping.
- Serve immediately or place in the freezer until ready to serve.
