Construction of the Ice Cube neutrino observatory was recently completed, including the full Deep Core sub-array, a low-energy extension of the Ice Cube detector. We present recent results from the searches of dark matter candidates with Ice Cube, performed with the 22-and 40-string configurations using the Sun and the Galactic Center and Halo as possible dark matter sources. We also report on the search for dark matter annihilations with the Ice Cube neutrino detector in the 79-string configuration. Furthermore, a formalism for quickly and directly comparing event-level Ice Cube data with arbitrary annihilation spectra in detailed model scans is presented. We show an application of this formalism to both model exclusion and parameter estimation in models of supersymmetry.
