Cold Stone Cupcakes Staying Around

If you were worried that you would miss the new Ice Cream Cupcakes at Stone Cold Creamery (originally available until March 31), fear not! It seems that Cold Stone is having so much success with the cupcakes that they are making them a permanent item on the menu.

Thanks to info from the Food Frenzy blog, we also know that Cold Stone will be trying out a new item this summer which involves Jell-O pudding. The word is that Cold Stone will be offering ice cream flavors inspired by Jell-O pudding, BUT the ice cream will be a different consistency than it normally is. When the ice cream melts, it will have the consistency of Jell-O pudding. Count me in!

Cold Stone Cupcakes are Wanted by Everyone!

It seems that everyone is as excited about Ice Cream Cupcakes as I am. I stopped by Cold Stone Creamery last night to try the new cupcakes but they were sold out! The employee I talked to said that the cupcakes sell out every day.

Even thought I was let down about the absence of Ice Cream Cupcakes, I figured that since I was in Cold Stone I might as well get some ice cream. I tried the Sweet Cream ice cream since it is inside the Sweet Cream Ice Cream Cupcake. I really enjoyed it and hope to try it in a cupcake soon.

I have received comments from some readers who have tried the Ice Cream Cupcakes. Several of them have expressed disappointment that there isn't more cake. I like cake more than ice cream so I might have the same opinion. But we will see!

One interesting thing to note is that the cupcakes are only sold in packs of six ($10). I was hoping that I wouldn't have to buy six of them because then I might be tempted to eat all of them.

Cold Stone Cupcakes

Cold Stone Creamery sent out a press release this morning announcing that they will be selling Ice Cream Cupcakes for a limited time. These Ice Cream Cupcakes will be sold in a six-pack for $9.99 and will be available starting today (February 4) until March 31, 2009.


The Ice Cream Cupcakes will be available in three different flavors. They all sound so delicious:

1. Cake Batter Delux: red velvet cake with fudge and cake batter ice cream in a rich Belgian chocolate shell, topped with pink frosting and sprinkles
2. Sweet Cream: yellow cake with fudge and sweet cream ice cream in a rich Belgian chocolate shell, topped with Bettercreme frosting and Duo Mistrals topping
3. Double Chocolate Devotion: devil's food cake with fudge and chocolate ice cream in a rich Belgian chocolate shell, topped with Bettercreme frosting and Oreo cookie

And if that wasn't good enough, select locations will let customers create their own ice cream cupcakes. It's been a while since I've been to Cold Stone, but it looks like I need to visit soon. Let me know if you've seen or tried this new treat!
