Sprinkles Cupcakes

07/28/2008 Posted by whocaresIdont

I'm sorry, but they're not the original cupcake bakery! Go to New York and you will find many of cupcake bakeries that have been around much longer than these wannabees. Talk about overrated. Hellooo, I can buy me a box of pre-made batter from the store and make a better cupcake. The fans of this place are people that follow fads because they saw a star eating one. What a waste of my time.

Pros: It's in Newport Beach

Cons: Everything else.

Very dissappointing. Not a favorite dessert at all. First, to buy the cupcake you have to stand in a HUDGE line and wait for up to 10 min. Then once you get inside the ultra-crowded, tiny, room you have about 5 seconds to pick out which dry, flavorless cupcake you would like. I chose strawberry, red velvet, and milk chocolate. Big mistake. For 3 cupcakes it was 12$!The strawberry, more like a thick bread then a moist cupcake, was sad. After a bite I wanted to hurl the piece of dry calories across the Newport Beach, soccer-mom parking lot. I will never eat that again. Never again. Next the chocolate, the frosting, more like fudge was ok but waaaaay too rich. It was very bitter and dry and I couldn't take a bite without half of falling into my bra. Not as bad as the strawberry bread, but still not worth 4$. The red velvet was good. It was like a watered-down chocolate that was colored red. Thats all. The cream-cheese frosting was good, not exceptional. If I was forced to eat another Sprinkles cupcake(which in my opinion is worse then getting my toes-nails ripped off) I would choose red velvet. Over all very dissappionting. Not worth all the hype. Save yourselfs and go to Albertsons and get one of theirs, I can promise it will be better.

Pros: Leaving

Cons: Uh, everything

Oh boy. Just thinking about this place makes me feel as if my waistline is expanding, but it's hard to remember that once I'm eating one of their cupcakes. Being a major dessert person gives me a major appreciation for this adorable little place. Their cupcakes are fresh, colorful and taste amaaazing. What's best is that they have certain flavors sold on certain days. It is a very fun place, but should not be frequented often, unless you want to be overweight, haha. The red velvet (quite cliche) and peanut butter chocolate ones are my favorite. In love.

Overrated. They're $4 cupcakes, and water/milk at $2/each! My friends and I sampled the red velvet, the black & white (chocolate cake, white frosting), vanilla, choco coconut, strawberry and vanilla milk chocolate. The white cake was incredibly dry. The white frosting was overly sweet on some, and bland on another. Red velvet, Choco coconut and black & white were the only ones that tasted yum, but not $4 yum. Ridiculously overpriced if you ask me. Customer service was less than desirable. She kept asking us, over and over, "I'm sorry, what cupcakes did you want again?" By the time we got the box, we looked in, and sure enough - it was the wrong cupcakes. Perfect for the aging wanna-be hipster plastic mom with her gaggle of kids in her H3 who wants to be "cool" with her kids. So, I guess perfect for Newport Beach. :)

Pros: Adorable, but tiny shop.

Cons: Everything else.

As far as cupcakes (icings) go, this place has some of the tastiest. The cupcakes aren't extraordinary, but the icing is and that's what makes these cupcakes a treat...yummy!! The cupcake itself is soft and along with the tasty icing, it just seems to melt in your mouth. I like the black and white the best. The strawberry wasn't as good as I expected. Though there are many flavors, the others weren't really to my taste. Oh, they are costly as far as cupcakes go.

Pros: yummy cupcakes, splendid presentation

Cons: cost
