Sprinkles CupCakes

I'm sure most of you have heard about Sprinkles Cupcakes. You know, the little cupcake shop frequently visited by celebrities like Katie Holmes. If you haven't heard about this shop then let me introduce you to the most popular cupcake shop in the LA area. If you don't believe me just take a look at that line. The only thing I've seen close to this in LA was the line at Diddy Reese, a cookie and ice cream shop (totally different concept; equally delicious).

Anywho, Sprinkles Cupcakes boasts tons of flavorful treats, the option to buy the mix, t-shirts, doggie cupcakes, and frosting shots (yes actual shots of frosting). Basically, this shop is a brand. This brand however has a lot of bad press ranging from bad cupcakes, to being overpriced. So, I decided to test it out.

Now, I have to say, that when it comes to cupcakes I'm not particularly picky. I mean, they're cupcakes... What more could I ask for. So I couldn't call these cupcakes bad. But I also wouldn't call them the best cupcakes I've ever had. They are extremely rich, so rich that sometimes it's hard to finish one. Plus you shouldn't eat that little sprinkle in the middle. It's definitely not good.

So my overall opinion: It's worth the experience. It's located in the center of Beverly Hills and has become a staple of the area. It's kind of just one of those things you have to do.

Stars: 3 out of 5: worth one shot...of frosting that is :)

Price: $$$ at 3.35 a pop these little treats certainly aren't cheap.

Here's what other people had to say about it on Yelp.
