Before we even came to Arizona for spring training I told my husband we had to come to Sprinkles when I saw there was this Scottsdale location. I wanted to go to one ever since I saw Bridget from "The Girls Next Door" obsessing over it - HA! We spent part of a day at Fashion Square and I was surprised to drive past Sprinkles by chance without even looking for it. When my husband and I initially drove past the Sprinkles storefront, the huge line inside almost stopped us from going in but I'm so glad we did. The line WAS quite long but it moved quickly and we were out with our sweet treats in no time. The girls working were very friendly and were on top of taking orders to make the line move along smoothly.
We only bought one cupcake each so we didn't get to try all the flavors that we had been drooling over but that's okay. I had the St. Patrick's Day Irish Chocolate - Belgian dark chocolate cake topped with a Baileys Irish cream cheese frosting. Hubby had the Pumpkin. Both were so moist and delicious. Not too huge in size or too sugary sweet. Just about perfect.
One thing though that I found frustrating was the flavors listed on the wall vs. what is actually available that day. When you immediately walk in if you've never been there before, you automatically look up to the board - but that does you no good if that flavor is not made that day. And the little signs next to the cupcakes in the case you cant read unless you are right up front so it's hard to make your selection waiting in line because you have no idea what is available. No biggie. And I think $3.50 per cupcake is a steal I have no idea why people would complain about price.
Will be back next time I'm at a nearby location, maybe even order online for a special occasion. YUM!
