| - Sprinkles makes a damn fine cupcake. They are an indulgence, and something you should probably only take on once every couple of months, but their frosting is absolutely incredible and the cake is usually paired quite well with it.
My initial impressions, way back when, were that the cake was a bit dry. I learned that by ensuring you have some of the ample amount of frosting smashed in with every bite, there's a perfect balance that really works.
The cake is flavorful and tastes pure and clean. Not laced with filler or with that weird chemical flavor that accompanies any store-bought cupcakes, and not cooked into oblivion, I find them to be delicious.
My absolute favorite is Orange but they only sell it on Tuesdays for reasons passing understanding. The frosting is simple, pure, and delicious, and just the right consistency. I've not had the "hardened" experience of other reviewers at all, but I practice safe cupcaking. (Plastic bag around the box when I bring it home, etc.)
I usually flip mine upside down onto a plate and dig the fork straight through to ensure the proper frosting ratio--but I'm a professional. I've had to stop receiving their Twitter device updates because the free cupcake-a-day siren call was too much for me. (And my heart.)
That said, Sprinkles is expensive. $3.25 for a cupcake is definitely an indulgence, but you truly get what you pay for and this is a fantastic dessert for one.
