I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The layers didn't stick together very well, and the ice cream melted too quickly.

I had some trouble finding graham cracker crumbs, but I was able to substitute crushed vanilla wafers instead. The cake still turned out great!
