| - If my best friend were writing this, Sprinkles would get 5 stars. He indulges his craving for cupcakes so often that they now give him free ones. Seriously, he has a problem. Just last Friday before he met me for happy hour he called to ask if I wanted a cupcake because he was making a quick stop at Sprinkles. I told him to never ask me that again. I don't need to eat a cupcake before I partake in half price drinks and appetizers... some people, me, don't have your metabolism.
Anyway, I found Sprinkles to be average. Honestly, I like the confetti cake mix from the grocery store better. I'd rather drive up to Fry's, pick me up some Betty Crocker Confetti Fun Mix and canned cream cheese frosting. The only problem with that is I end up with 20 cupcakes and just me to eat them. Soooo, Sprinkles it is.
I have to add that I googled confetti cake for fun and the image that popped up reminded me of the Jack Sprat nursery rhyme.
You know...
Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
It was a picture of a bride and groom getting ready to cut the cake. The Bride was shockingly large compared to the groom. It made me never want to bake confetti cupcakes again.
Back to Sprinkles. My friend always gets the plain vanilla cupcake. He NEVER deviates. I enjoyed the red velvet and the chocolate (chocolate was the most moist, just in case you were wondering), but found the vanilla to be a bit dry. If you go, go with a friend, that way you can try different flavors if you end up not being wowed by your selection.
