Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream & Cake/Yogurt

I have been a fan of Baskin-Robbin's ice cream and frozen yogurt cones from a very young age when I participated in its Birthday Club that treats members with a free 2.5 oz scoop of their choice of ice cream/yogurt and a $3 off coupon on an ice cream cake during birthdays. An ice cream/yogurt scoop with a cone is normally priced at $2.58. This ice cream shop's other specialties includes customized ice cream cakes for any occasion such as the Happy Easter Cake and the Bunny Roll Cake ($19.43); pies; cookies; sundaes, and shakes.
