Our team had the pleasure of serving our Blueprint Blend ice cream to over 1000 visitors at the Da Vinci Science Center during the 14th Annual Ice Cream Wars. This year’s event consisted of eight teams from Lehigh Valley businesses who turned their original recipes into delicious ice cream treats. The teams were competing to see who could make the tastiest ice cream, which was made using liquid nitrogen. Science Center visitors sampled all the unique flavors and cast their votes. The Alvin H. Butz team was chosen as the 2025 Ice Cream Wars Champion! Our recipe for success included milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, Oreo cookies, Golden Oreo cookies, cookie dough pieces, and food coloring. This was a second win for Butz, with the last victory earned in 2023. Along with the title of Ice Cream War Champions Butz won Best All Around, All In Theme.
This event provides a fun opportunity for children to expand their scientific knowledge while enjoying ice cream made with liquid nitrogen, and fosters a little friendly competition between companies in the Lehigh Valley. Mark Yatcilla, Senior Project Manager in Allentown, shared his excitement, saying, “We don’t always sit together in the same office. Right now, we’re sitting here, we’re laughing, we’re dancing, we’re having fun, it’s all that stuff outside of work. You get to talk to more people. This is— it’s so much fun.”
