The recipe was good but they took a long time to make.

A little disappointed in the recipe. Like a lot of other people if I ever did it again I would only fill the cups about 1/4 full or so. Filling them half way I thought was too much, but considering it was my first time making cupcakes I figured since CW published the recipe they must of have tried it out first, and my cake mix only yielded 24 cups not 36 like it says. And my frosting didn't turn out at all, even after trying it twice. So I went and bought cream cheese frosting and put that on the cupcakes that I *didn't* try to put ice cream on.

These were so good, that my daughter asked for them instead of cake for her birthday!

This was a huge, huge hit when I made it for Memorial Day. Even my younger brother, who never eats dessert, had thirds and even fourths! Highly reccommended :)

These were great! The first batch i put too much of the batter in, so I ended up scooping a hole out of the center to fill with Ice Cream. Couldn't find Blue Moo Ice Cream, so I tinted the ice cream with blue food coloring and it came out looking green cause I ran out of food coloring. Next time will be sure to have more than one tube of color. But over all, they were a hit for my friends and family on Memorial Day!

Made this for 2 bridal showers. For one, the colors were yellow and gray, so I used yellow cake and Oreo ice cream. The other wedding was pink and black - devil's food cake and strawberry ice cream. Both combinations are great. You can use fancy cupcake papers to set any mood you want. I would tend not to use the red velvet cake or anything with artificial dye since almost all food additives are less than good for you and I might as well avoid as many as possible.

The idea of making these in an ice cream cone is a great idea! I need to read the reviews before I try the recipe.
