Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake Prices Canada 2026 (Sizes & Flavours)

A Dairy Queen ice cream cake in Canada typically costs between $33 and $51 CAD for an 8-inch round cake and between $37 and $56 CAD for a 10-inch, with Blizzard cakes running a few dollars more than classic celebration cakes. DQ does not publish one national price list, so the exact price depends on your local franchise. This guide pulls together current Canadian menu figures so you know what to expect before you order.

DQ Ice Cream Cake Sizes in Canada

Canadian DQ stores generally offer two standard round cake sizes:

• 8-inch round: serves roughly 10 to 12 people. The standard choice for family birthdays.
• 10-inch round: serves roughly 16 to 22 people. Better value per serving for bigger parties.

Some locations also stock sheet cakes for large events, and DQ Cupcakes are sold as a smaller alternative. Availability of sheet cakes varies, so call your store if you need one.

Ice Cream Cake Prices by Type (CAD)

Based on recent Canadian location menus, here are the typical price ranges. Prices vary by franchise and city, so treat these as a guide rather than a guarantee.

• All Occasion Cake, 8-inch: about $33 to $36
• All Occasion Cake, 10-inch: about $37 to $41
• Celebration Cake, 8-inch: about $33 to $51
• Celebration Cake, 10-inch: about $37 to $56
• OREO Blizzard Cake, 8-inch: about $39 to $45
• OREO Blizzard Cake, 10-inch: about $43 to $56
• Other Blizzard Cakes (Reese’s, Cookie Dough, Choco Brownie), 8-inch: about $39 to $45
• Other Blizzard Cakes, 10-inch: about $43 to $56

The price gap between the 8-inch and 10-inch is small relative to the extra servings, so the larger cake is usually the better deal for parties. To put it in per-serving terms: an 8-inch cake at $40 serving 12 people costs about $3.33 per slice, while a 10-inch at $46 serving 20 costs about $2.30 per slice. If your guest list is anywhere near the upper end of the 8-inch range, sizing up saves money and avoids the embarrassment of running short. See the full cake lineup on our DQ cake menu page.

Why DQ Cake Prices Vary So Much

Dairy Queen restaurants in Canada are independently owned franchises, and each owner sets their own prices. Stores in higher-cost cities tend to charge more, and delivery apps like DoorDash often list higher prices than the in-store menu. Custom decorations, edible images, and premium toppings add extra charges on top of the base price.

The most reliable way to get an exact price is to call your local store or check its menu in the DQ app. If you are comparing a few stores in your area, a quick phone call takes two minutes and avoids surprises at pickup.

How to Pay Less for a DQ Cake

DQ Canada regularly issues cake coupons. Recent app coupon books have included $7 off any DQ or Blizzard cake, and DQ Rewards members can redeem points for cakes: 2,500 points for an 8-inch cake and 3,000 points for a 10-inch. Points are earned at 10 per dollar spent, so a $40 cake order earns you 400 points toward the next one.

Watch our DQ coupons page and deals page for the current offers. Seasonal promotions around Mother’s Day, Easter, and Christmas sometimes include cake discounts too. If you only need a small treat rather than a full cake, DQ ice cream cake slices and cupcakes cost far less.
