Sprinkles

I've heard about Sprinkles a million times over from my many foodie friends. So when my BFF H brought me a red velvet cupcake from the Sprinkles in Palo Alto, I was very excited to try it. For one thing, I never make red velvet in the kitchen, it's just too messy and I don't like the idea of swallowing a whole bottle of red dye in my batter.

The cake was very very moist and quite possibly, the best red velvet I've ever had in terms of cake. The frosting, however, left much to be desired. It was disgustingly sweet and booo....not cream cheese flavored. I left a lot of it behind (see below)

I still prefer Sibby's, a discussion we will have to save for another day...
