| - I get excited whenever somewhere as amazing as the Linq adds a dessert/sweet shop to its list of shops. How can this kind of place NOT have a sweets shop, and how can it be anything other than Sprinkles, complete with a cupcake ATM? My plan of attack (pregame before a concert at the Brooklyn Bowl) was this: an apple ale from O'Sheas pub, then trekking a mere 30 seconds to Sprinkles for a few cupcakes. The group I went with had no interest whatsoever, in sampling this hyped cupcake boutique. I, on the other hand, LIVE for trying new dessert places.
There was a steady stream of customers upon entering the shop, but I was immediately greeted with a smile, and the girl behind the counter was more than eager to help. I was overwhelmed with choices, and if I had a choice, I'd have bought one of each flavor. My wallet decided against that idea, and I ended up with a chocolate/banana and a black/white cupcake. As I'm standing outside of the shop, in the middle of a busy walkway, balancing my ale and my cupcakes, taking overly dramatic (almost rated R type of eye rolling chew after chew), the group that was with me finally had to sample my sweet luscious cakes. (the cupcakes, sillies).
I wish I hadn't offered them all a taste of my cupcakes. I ended up with nothing but cupcake liners and sweet regret. I guess they all enjoyed the sweets as much as I did. But that just means that I have an excuse to go back again. Cupcake ATM, I'm coming for you!
