Have you tried the PhillySwirl ice cream cupcakes? If so, what did you think?</p> <p><div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='http://www.yumsugar.com/1846240'>View 9 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div></p> http://www.yumsugar.com/1846254#comment desserts ice cream cupcakes frozen taste test ice cream cake PhillySwirl Ice Cream Cupcakes phillyswirl Wed, 06 Aug 2008 09:00:18 -0700 partysugar http://www.yumsugar.com/1846254 http://www.yumsugar.com/1846240 <a href="http://www.yumsugar.com/1846240"><img width=160 height=120 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/17470/32_2008/IMG_4464.large.JPG'></div></a> <div class='gallery_thumbnail'> <a href='/1846240'></a> </div> <div class='call_to_action'> <!-- gallery teaser --><a href="/1846240?page=0,0,0">View Slideshow ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --> </div> <hr class=space> http://www.yumsugar.com/1846240#comment Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:50:47 -0700 partysugar http://www.yumsugar.com/1846240
