Baskin-Robbins Roll Cake (2026): Fudge Roll Prices, Servings & the Seasonal Rolls
The roll cake is the quiet classic of the Baskin-Robbins cake case — no custom queue, no design catalog, just ice cream rolled inside a cake layer and sliced like a jelly roll. The Fudge Roll has sat on US store menus for decades while the cake conversation moved to custom rounds and Cake in a Box. This page covers what the roll cakes are, what they cost, how many they serve, and the seasonal rolls (including the holiday one worth watching for).
Prices are from current US store and delivery menus, checked 6 November 2026. Baskin-Robbins publishes no official cake prices — franchised shops set their own. The whole cake range is mapped on the cakes hub.
What a roll cake is
A roll cake inverts the usual ice-cream cake: instead of layers stacked flat, a sheet of cake is wrapped around an ice-cream core, so every slice shows the spiral. Baskin-Robbins’ own menu description of the Fudge Roll is “a classic combination of ice cream and chocolate cake rolled together and deliciously covered in fudge, decorated with cherry-topped rosettes.” The build underneath that description: vanilla ice cream inside a chocolate sponge, fudge over the top. It slices cleanly, needs no decoration decisions, and is a standard case item rather than a custom order.
The rolls on US menus now
| Roll cake | Status | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Fudge Roll Cake | The standard roll — on store and delivery menus nationwide | $31–$38 in shops |
| Standard Roll Cake | Listed alongside the Fudge Roll on US store menus | $31–$34 |
| Fudge Roll (Chocolate Chip) | A flavor variant seen on some stores’ delivery menus | varies by shop |
A price warning the listings make obvious: the same Fudge Roll seen at $31.48 in several shops’ menus appears at $37.78, $41.56 and even $50.38 on delivery apps in other areas. Delivery markups on cakes are steep — the in-shop price is the honest benchmark, and pickup is the cheaper route for the identical cake.
Servings: the honest answer
Baskin-Robbins publishes no serving count for its roll cakes — anything a site states as an official number is invented. What can be said: a roll is sliced crosswise, and at the usual slice thickness one roll gives you roughly 8–10 servings. Thinner slices stretch it toward a dozen small pieces; thick party slices bring it down toward 6–8. Put it in the range of a 6-inch round (6–8) to an 8-inch round (10–12) when you are planning — and size up if the roll is the only dessert.
The seasonal rolls: Bunny and Yule Log
The roll format is where Baskin-Robbins parks its most nostalgic seasonal cakes. Older official releases include the Bunny Roll for spring and the Fudge Yule Log for the winter holidays — a fudge roll dressed as a log. Neither is a permanent menu item, and availability is announced seasonally, shop by shop. If the Yule Log follows its old pattern, December is when to ask your shop about it — treat that as a watch item, not a promise: it has not been announced for 2026 as of this writing.
Roll cake vs the other grab-and-go cakes
| Roll Cake | Cake in a Box | 6-inch custom round | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical price | $31–$38 | ~$34.99 | $25–$35 |
| Serves | ~8–10 slices | 10–12 | 6–8 |
| Lead time | None (case item) | None (case item) | 24 hours if customized |
| Pick it when | You want the classic fudge-and-vanilla build, sliced neatly | You want a modern flavor and the most servings per dollar | You need a name, message or design on it |
Nutrition, honestly: like the shop’s round and sheet cakes, the roll cakes have no official nutrition figures — the official guide publishes cake numbers only for Cake in a Box slices (450–540 calories per tenth). A fudge roll slice is a cake-and-ice-cream slice like any other; expect the same territory as the shop cakes’ 320–450 per slice, but know that figure is an analogy, not a published number. The Cake in a Box page has the format with real data.
Baskin-Robbins Roll Cake — frequently asked questions
How much is a Baskin-Robbins Fudge Roll Cake?
Typically $31–$38 in shops — $31.48 is the most common menu price we found. Delivery apps run higher: the same cake was listed at $37.78 to $50.38 in other areas. Prices are set by each franchised shop.
How many people does a Baskin-Robbins roll cake serve?
Baskin-Robbins publishes no official count. Sliced at the usual thickness, one roll gives roughly 8–10 servings — comparable to a small round cake.
What flavor is the Fudge Roll Cake?
Vanilla ice cream rolled in a chocolate sponge cake, covered in fudge and decorated with cherry-topped rosettes — per Baskin-Robbins’ own menu description. A Chocolate Chip variant appears on some stores’ delivery menus.
Does Baskin-Robbins still make the Yule Log cake?
The Fudge Yule Log is a seasonal roll from older official releases, not a permanent item. It has not been announced for 2026 as of early November — December is when shops have historically been asked about it.
Do I need to order a roll cake in advance?
Usually not — roll cakes are standard case items, not custom builds, so the 24-hour custom rule does not apply. Stock varies by shop, so for a specific day, ordering ahead through the app guarantees the cake is there.
