Fudgie the Whale facts for kids
Fudgie the Whale is a very popular ice cream cake made by a company called Carvel. You can find Fudgie the Whale cakes in Carvel stores. This fun cake was first created in the 1970s. It was part of Carvel's plan to offer more fresh and exciting treats, alongside other famous cakes like Hug Me the Bear and Cookie Puss.
How Fudgie the Whale Was Created
Fudgie the Whale was designed by Tom Carvel, who started the Carvel company. He worked with an employee named Kathy Dumas to bring Fudgie to life.
Fudgie's Clever Design
Even though Fudgie looks like a whale, the cake's design is very clever! Sometimes, for holidays, the cake can be turned on its side. When turned, the whale's body can look like a face. The whale's tail can then become something else, like the ears of the Easter Bunny or a tassel on Santa Claus's hat.
Fudgie the Whale is often promoted around Father's Day. A famous saying for the cake is, "For a whale of a dad!" This makes Fudgie a special treat to celebrate fathers.
