The ice cake maker includes a pair of molds (A and B) formed from a material having a relatively high heat conductivity such as aluminum and guide rods (10) to guide the pair of molds (A and B) being moved in a predetermined direction. The molds (A and B) have molding concavities (7 and 8) at the sides thereof opposite to each other. A blank ice lump is melted at a part thereof being in contact with the molds (A and B) owing to a temperature difference between itself and molds (A and B), and molded into an ice cake having a predetermined shape defined by the molding concavities (7 and 8). Any unexperienced one can use the ice cake maker to make the ice cake having the predetermined shape easily and rapidly from the ice lump or broken ice pieces. Since no heaters are required, the apparatus can be operated with an improved safety. The apparatus is simply constructed, suitable for use to mass production of such ice cakes, and inexpensive. Thus, the ice cakes or balls can be made economically.
