We joined the National Ice Cream Retailers Association in order to network with our peers for ideas and flavors. In 2012 we entered our Butter Pecan Kruncher ice cream in the annual contest and took home 1st Place in the Best Nut Flavor category.  The category for 2013 was Best Candy Flavor and every year they have the Best New Flavor Category.  Again we were fortunate enough to take home 1st Place in the Best Candy category with our Caramel Apple Sucker ice cream. We also took 2nd Place for the Best New Flavor with our Lemon Pie ice cream. In 2014 we took Honorable Mention with our Raspberry Lemonade flavor. This is a national organization, so we go up against ice cream makers from all over the United States.

In 2015 we entered the World Dairy Expo Ice Cream Contest held in Madison, WI. Our Zanzee Chocolate Bar ice cream took 2nd Place in the World. In 2016 our Zanzee Chocolate Bar ice cream took 3rd Place in the World.  In 2017 our Lemon Pie took 2nd Place in the World. 2018 we achieved our ultimate goal by taking 1st place in the World with our Salty Caramel Truffle. In 2019, Zanzee Chocolate Bar took 3rd Place honors.  After the contest was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID we came back in 2021 to take 1stPlace with Red Velvet and 2nd Place with Maggie's Moo Cake. In 2022, we placed 2nd Place with Blueberry ‘Yes Please’ Cake.
