Still wondering which cupcake it was?  These comments might help:

• This recipe brings me back to my fantastic trip to Seville!
• Crunchy and creamy! The best combination ever!
• I will definitely try to make come next Cinco de Mayo!
• Wow! How different - usually we see cinnamon used in baked goods - these are so original!

And if you still haven't figured it out, this should do it:

• I would absolutely dive into the Churro Pecan Icecream Cupcake! It sounds like a trifecta of yum!
• Churros are my favorite dessert aside from cupcakes, so this one captured the best of the best for me :-)
• If only they sold those Churro Pecan Ice Cream Cupcakes on the streets of Mexico City! Mmm mmm delicious!
• The churro pecan ice cream cupcake has got to be the most fabulous thing I've ever heard of!
• Cupcake+Churros+Cinammon = No Competition !
• The churro pecan ice cream cupcake looks pretty, but not fussy. It seems like there would be great harmony in the flavors. And I like the idea of the crunchy churro texture and the caramelized pecans in the ice cream.
• Churros are the guilty pleasure of any fair in Florida! Combined with the southern flair of pecans- sounds perfect to me!
• In my opinion, the Churro Pecan ice cream cupcapke has a perfect blending of flavors and textures. This cupcake gets my vote.
• They all look pretty great, but churros+pecans=yowza!
• I love churros! I love pecans! Putting them together is one of the smartest things I personally have ever heard. I wish I had one of these right now!! :) The presentation is gorgeous, too!
• MMmmm... Churros... 
• Green Doxie should really open up a five star cup cake shop! She is creative in her makings! I want to buy all her cupcakes!

Thanks again to all of our participants, sponsors, and voters and to Stef at Cupcake Project for co-hosting and doing so much work for the roundup!

Cinnamon pecan ice cream that was used in the winning entry seems to be a pretty creative flavor (and a creative use of the ice cream as well), but keep coming back this month for more exciting and creative flavors.
