2. Where was Barbie born?

Ice Cream Cupcakes at Cold Stone Creamery


I saw ice cream at Cold Stone but NO ice cream cupcakes.


6 Pack of Cold Stone Creamery Cupcakes
$9.99


The PINK cupcake looks yummy!

I've been curious about tasting the Cold Stone Creamery ice cream cupcakes. Let me tell you, they are very hard to find. They're only sold at select Cold Stone stores. And, if you find one of the chosen few retail locations, they're often sold out, as has been my experience.

The cupcakes are sold in a 6-pack for $9.99. Beh. I only want one!

Cutie Cupcake!


I wish I knew who made these cupcake toppers.
They are adorable.
