Anyone rating this place above 2 stars, has only experienced cupcakes from a box.
I have been following Sprinkles for years. Pretty much since the beginning of Cupcake Wars. The minute I heard Sprinkles was opening I was thrilled. I had to try it! I went on a Sunday and settled of a mini red velvet, mini chocolate marshmallow, Lemon and Vanilla meets Chocolate. I also got a kiddie sundae with red velvet ice cream and a mini dark chocolate cupcake.
WHAT a disappointment! Here's a breakdown:
Red Velvet: Cake is okay, but the frosting tastes like chip dip
Mini Chocolate Marshmallow: Forgettable
Lemon: Frosting is good, but the cake, which has no hint of lemon whatsoever tastes like a cross between a dry biscuit, a pancake and coffee cake. Awful.
Vanilla Meets Chocolate: See lemon for cake.. Frosting too sweet. All you tastes is sugar
Dark chocolate: Grab a cup of milk. Extremely dry and very bitter. You'll like it if you really love super dark chocolate.
Red Velvet Ice Cream: Have you ever had an ice cream sandwich? One of the one's you get from the ice cream man. Well remove the ice cream in the middle and crumble and red velvet cupcake in it. Voila! Now you have Sprinkles Red Velvet ice cream.
I won't attack the price for these.... concoctions because it is located on the strip. As a self-prolaimed cupcake connoisseur, I will say that this is the worst cupcake establishment in Vegas. It's even worse than Caked, which is hard to believe. I caution you to save your money.
