What's so special about Sprinkles?

[carcrash_heartz]

I admit, the Sprinkles cupcakes (such as the cupcakes in my icon) intrigue me. I've never had one (I don't live anywhere close to CA), but I do hope to try them someday. Until that day comes, in the meantime I'm wondering - what's so special about them? Do they taste different? How do they make the icing look so perfect? Does anyone have any

We got an assorted box for our coworkers birthday. I like some of their flavors... and not others. I like the texture of the cake but there is a LOT of butter-ness... and the frosting is too much for me.

And they are expensive.

Honestly its all about location... they are in Bev. Hills next to the big fancy designers... The line stretching outside adds to the mystique. Its like a club. Everyone sees the line and says "ooh, they must be good."

They are good... but not any better than any other bakery.

can you imagine what the rent must be? I am sure that is a lot of the price, as well.

That's how I feel about Magnolia. The line is always long, there's all this hype, but I was still unimpressed with the cupcake I got there, and especially unimpressed with their variety.

I hate to agree as well. Magnolia isn't anything but ordinary, sometimes dry cupcakes. They're not even enclosed, so they're always exposed to other peoples hands, the constant door opening and closing.

I went to Crumbs- with no line- and the cupcakes were amazing. I wouldn't go back to Magnolia unless they were giving cupcakes away.

They're o.k. They're not that good. I used to get one if I was in the area when I lived in L.A. and basically, it's just designer food, like designer clothing.

took me ages to work out that sprinkles is a shop/brand

I thought you were talking about sprinkles.. as in the toppings..

lol me thinking:

'do they taste different'

do sprinkles taste different? hmm...

'how to they make the icing look so perfect?'

sprinkles make icing look perfect?? they dont for me!

silly me.

hehe, i didn't realise it was a shop either. I was sitting here thinking "What does she mean what's so good about sprinkles? ...there sprinkles!!"

Atleast i wasn't the only one, lol

>_< me too. i thought she meant confetti cupcake, y'know, with the sprinkles on the inside.

i like how they look, but they're not that great.

There are videos of cupcake icings for Sprinkles online, I saw it on the news once, or something. I've never had one, but personally I don't think they're that aesthetically pleasing; there is so much more to do with a cupcake than stick a dot in the middle.
