I have heard so much hype about Sprinkles Cupcakes that I finally gave in and tried...and was highly disappointed :(
I got a lemon coconut, dark chocolate, black & white, and vanilla chocolate. Did I get the wrong flavors? None of them were amazing. The lemon coconut cupcake was incredibly bland. The cupcake literally tasted like a spoonful of butter. I couldn't finish it. The frosting was lemony and that was pretty ok. No coconut flavor in either the cake or frosting. The dark chocolate tasted like milk chocolate and kinda carmel-y according to my roommate. My boyfriend had the black and white one and couldn't finish it because the cake was so dry, the frosting was "too sweet" for him. Lastly, my sister had the vanilla chocolate one. She said the cake was okay, but tasted buttery. The frosting however was good.
I'm only giving this place two stars because one of the three employees working was nice and helpful. The other two could care less that they had a customer.
I'm sad that I had such a bad experience with Sprinkles Cupcakes, looks like I'll be baking my own still. I could never "crave" Sprinkles like almost everyone says that do.
