Cake vs. Ice Cream was a Splatfest event in Splatoon 2. It was held in North America, Oceania, and Europe. It was announced on 6 July 2017. The event lasted four hours. The results were given on 16 July 2017.

It was accessible by downloading the Splatoon 2 Splatfest World Premiere from the Nintendo eShop.

Details

The full name of each choice was "Cake is better than ice cream!" and "Ice cream is better than cake!". The team name portion of Splatfest titles was "Cake" and "Ice Cream".

The Splatfest World Premiere was a free demo that only allowed players to play the Splatoon 2 tutorial, see the news announcement of the Cake vs. Ice Cream Splatfest, and choose a side. All of this could be done in advance of the Splatfest event. Unlike the full version of Splatoon 2, the Splatfest World Premiere had only two stages per two hours. For the first two hours, Starfish Mainstage and Inkblot Art Academy were playable. For the last two hours, Moray Towers and Humpback Pump Track were playable.

Due to being available before the full release of Splatoon 2, there is no record of this Splatfest in SplatNet 2.

Lorelei: “Wie zoet is, krijgt lekkers: taart versus ijs!” (Whoever is sweet, gets sweets: cake versus ice cream!)	Mariana: “Dat is toch geen wedstrijd? IJs is duidelijk het coolst!” (That's no contest, right? Ice cream is clearly the coolest!)	NOE
Notes: "Wie zoet is, krijgt lekkers" comes from a Sinterklaas song. Sinterklaas (the Dutch Santa Claus) awards nice children with candy.
Lorelei: “Waar heb je het over? Taart gaat er altijd in als zoete koek!” (What are you talking about? Cake always goes like hotcakes!)	Mariana: “Beh. Taart is gewoon brood met te veel suiker. Totaal overschat.” (Yuck. Cake is just bread with too much sugar. Totally overrated.)	NOE
Lorelei: “O ja? IJs is maar bevroren melk!” (Oh yeah? Ice cream is just frozen milk!)	Mariana: “IJs is echt zoveel meer!” (Ice cream is really so much more!)	NOE
Lorelei: “-”	Mariana: “IJs maken is een kunst! Bakmix kan iedereen kopen.” (Making ice cream is an art! Anyone can buy baking mix.)	NOE
Lorelei: “Er is ijstaart, maar taartijs bestaat niet! Ha! Had je nog wat?” (There is ice cream cake, but cake ice cream doesn't exist! Ha! Got something else?)	Mariana: “Er is echt wel taartijs! Dat zit in van die kleine bekertjes in het vriesvak!” (There totally is cake ice cream! It's in those small cups in the freezer aisle!)	NOE
Lorelei: “Maar die zijn ontzettend duur... Omdat taart de lekkerste smaak is, natuurlijk!” (But those are incredibly expensive... Because cake is the tastiest flavor, naturally!)	Mariana: “-”	NOE
Lorelei: “Genoeg gepraat. Dit moet worden uitgevochten!” (Enough talk. This needs to be fought out!)	Mariana: “Het moment van de waarheid! Maak je keuze bij de Splatfest-stemmachine!” (The moment of truth! Make your choice at the Splatfest voting machine!)	NOE

Notes: "Ik ijs de overwinning op" is a wordplay. The pronunciation of "eis" (claim) is the same as "ijs" (ice cream).
Lorelei: “Neeeeeee!” (Noooooo!)	Mariana: “Dan is het officieel: ijs is beter dan taart. Ik zal eraan moeten wennen...” (Then it's official: ice cream is better than cake. I'll have to get used to it...)	NOE
Lorelei: “Nou ja, OFFICIEEEEEL... Het blijft toch een kwestie van smaak?” (Well, OFFIIIIIICIAL... It remains a matter of taste, right?)	Mariana: “Zeker niet! Het festival heeft gesproken, dus het is officieel.” (Certainly not! The festival has spoken, so it's official.)	NOE

Trivia

• Cake vs. Ice Cream and its associated Japanese Splatfest, Rock vs. Pop were the only Splatfests in Splatoon 2 to last shorter than 24 hours.
  • They are also the shortest Splatfests in the series, as the Splatfest of the Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere (Rock vs. Paper vs. Scissors) lasted twelve hours.
• This Splatfest and its associated Japanese one were the only Splatoon 2 Splatfests to lack variations of Shifty Station.
• Ebb & Flow was the only battle theme that played during this Splatfest.
• Team Ice Cream was the most popular team to have won a Splatfest, and the most popular team in Splatoon 2.
  • However, it was not the most popular team in the series, losing that title to Team Ninja in Barbarian vs. Ninja by 1% of the popular vote.
