"Since we opened the world's first cupcake bakery in Beverly Hills, our freshly baked treats have inspired long lines of devoted Hollywood stars and serious epicureans alike."
It was already late in the afternoon so there already were lots of people in line! Speedy, who was my companion during the long plane ride, and I waited outside while my sister got us those yummy treats.
Finally, after 20 minutes, we got our cupcakes. We ordered 16 assorted cupcakes --- lemon, cinnamon, and of course, red velvet!
"Sprinkles cupcakes are handcrafted from the finest ingredients, including sweet cream butter, bittersweet belgian chocolate, pure madagascar bourbon vanilla, fresh banana and carrots, real strawberries and natural citrus zests."
I couldn't wait to get home to eat my red velvet cupcake. A little warning though, this treat is not for the faint of heart. The red velvet cupcake has 497 calories! But those $3.50 calorie-laden cupcakes are soooo worth it!
"Topped with Sprinkles trademark modern dots, rich chocolate sprinkles from France or seasonal sugar decorations, Sprinkles Cupcakes are a deliciously sophisticated update on an American classic."
On another note, my sister finally got to me give her long overdue Christmas gift! I usually don't like posting my purchases at the risk of sounding like a braggart but I guess this could be an exception since it's a gift. It's a Sak's exclusive, too! Thank you :)

DONT FORGET TO ENTER MY GIVEAWAY IF YOU'RE AN INDONESIAN RESIDENT HERE!
i didn't realize they had multiple locations. i've tried Sprinkles once or twice, but my favorites are homemade!
ReplyDeletexoxo alison
those cupcakes look absolutely delish!!! it makes me wish i could sink my teeth into them too. :)
ReplyDeletemj. love doing food entries! ;)
ReplyDeletemichelle. too bad i'm not an indonesian resident :(
alison. the only ones i know of are those three. discovered that they're expanding now to chicago, boston, etc. i hope they don't set up too many shops though. they might lose their appeal.
ReplyDeletelizzie. i just ate one for breakfast now ;)
cute ng presentation nila and it really looks yummy! :)
ReplyDeletemarice. it is! i miss it already. think ill buy one box again this weekend ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my. I'm drooling over these pictures. I think Sprinkles are hands down the best cupcakes around. Red Velvet is my favorite too! It's just so good...when it hits your lips.
