I would buy one. You have so many other things to make on the holiday save yourself the hassel.

I've been making them for years! You can make them a few days ahead of time - that is the good thing. and using homemade ice cream is even better.

But you can make them using any ice cream/yogurt/sherbet you want and any cookie or cracker or cake base.

You can "frost" them with softened ice cream or cool whip.

There is so much you can do. And you can make them in any cake shape you want.

Take a look at a thread here in the CAKES forum - Ice Cream Pan alternatives for a few more hints.

Make your own. It is not that difficult. I made ice cream party items professionally for six years. Everybody loves ice cream cake so it is always a sure hit.
