Ice Cream Cupcake Roundup 2010: Entries Are In!

The 2010 Ice Cream Cupcake Roundup entry period is over and, once again, you have wowed us with your ice cream cupcake creations!  All of the entries are detailed below - but first, a quick reminder about the rules.

Only the ice cream cupcake roundup entrants can vote in the first round of voting and of course they can't vote for themselves.  They will be picking the three finalists who will each win an OXO Prize Pack including OXO Good Grips Solid Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scoop, Oxo Good Grips 2-Cup Angled Measuring Cup, OXO Good Grips 1169600 3-Piece Mixing Bowl Set, Blue/Green/Yellow, Oxo Good Grips Bent Icing Knife, and an Oxo Good Grips PRO Grater!!  If you entered the contest, you'll be receiving an email with instructions on how to vote.  I don't envy you.  It will be hard to choose!

Once the finalists are chosen, the general public will get to pick the grand prize winner of the Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence 2-Quart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker.  Look out for your chance to vote next week (two voters will win the same OXO Prize Pack as our finalists)!


As you read through the entries, note that each entry title links to a blog post or Flickr post (if the creator does not have a blog) with details about the cupcake.  If you have the time, I would encourage you to click through and read the stories and recipes behind these masterpieces.
