Was it the promise of winning a collection of cookbooks, could it be a sign of the increasing popularity of cupcakes (don't listen to those all-hype media stories about cupcakes being on the way out), or perhaps it was the excitement about this year's fabulous blogger judges Nicole Weston from Baking Bites, Jessie Oleson from CakeSpy, and Naomi Robinson from Bakers Royale? Whatever the reason, we at Scoopalicious along with Stef at Cupcake Project received 60 ice cream cupcake contest entries (double the number we received last year)! As usual, the entries were well thought out, hunger-inducing, and visually appealing.
Click here to view each entry if you are not seeing them below. Sorry for the confusion!
Below, you will find each entry along with a brief description and a link to either the blog post about the entry or the Facebook page where the entrant provided the recipe. If you've got some time (hours), check them all out now! Otherwise, we encourage you to bookmark this page and return for inspiration the next time you want a unique and icy cool cupcake.
A note to our entrants: The judges are working on selecting their favorites now and they will decide upon a winner by the end of the month.

Wow that show some creativity!
I know, aren't they amazing TripleScoop?
Bethany@Scoopalicious
Great roundup! I would like to make that collage my computer background:)
All the entries are so awesome! This contest just gets better and better!
amazing! So many entries! All so different. Wish I could try them all!
Lucy, making it your computer background seems dangerous to me -- I'd be forever interrupting my work to get ice cream! Haha!
Ivy, doesn't it? And the thing is, even the first year the entries were amazing, so it just goes beyond amazing!
Roots, I think we need to have a LIVE contest sometime so we have a reason to test each and every one! But it would be a hard one to judge.

Oh my gosh, i would my diet again.
