I first heard about Sprinkles cupcakes because some (trendy) body wanted to treat everybody at Chad’s work to a Sprinkles cupcake for his birthday. He let everybody choose their own deletable flavor online<\/a> (be sure to scroll over the flavor so you can read the decadent description) and then picked them up and delivered them the next day. It’s like he gave everybody a birthday cake of his\/her choice for his<\/em> birthday!<\/p>\n

Then we (me, Bella, and Dawkins – who else?) were at the mall and I was cruising the Paul Frank t-shirts. One of them said, ‘I’m more Sprinkle than you,” and I knew then, that I really, really wanted to know whether a Sprinkles cupcake was worth the hype.<\/p>\n

So, I began planning my Beverly Hills day around getting some of these cupcakes. We got to Bruno and Soonie’s a tiny bit late, so Dawkins and I started off immediately after Nu decided to cut Bella’s hair first.<\/p>\n

See, Bella got her hair layered. <\/p>\n

Dawkins and I walked two blocks east of Rodeo and walked up to Little Santa Monica Blvd. We headed down the street (I was hobbling a little by that point – having chosen to wear my green suede penny loafer heels from Michael Kors) and walked right by a crowd of people before stopping in front of a very adorable brick storefront called Sprinkles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t get a great pic with my phone because of where the sun was. <\/p>\n

Boy these guys really have the design thing going here: everything about this place is designed to be coveted – Dawkins and I snagged several “flavor” cards and bamboo forks just because they were all so darn cute.<\/p>\n

And guess what – that crowd we passed? – the line for Sprinkles. That’s right we joined the rest of the Beverly Hills sheep and stood in line for 45 minutes to get our cupcakes. I even missed Damian Hirst’s butterfly-wing stained glass windows at the Gagosian for the cupcakes. But it was impossible to leave; every time the door swung open, heavenly baked smells wafted out – reminding us of mom and childhood birthday parties, only better.<\/p>\n

And to make up for waiting so long, I decided to buy a full dozen cupcakes. What the hell, I figured, Share the cupcake happiness. I got two carrot cake, two red velvet, two vanilla milk chocolate, one coconut, one banana, two dark chocolate, and two mocha. Holy cow – do you see how faulty my reasoning is here? I get back at the company for making me wait by buying triple the number of cupcakes I originally intended on buying.<\/p>\n

but it was worth it. Every person I saw in the next 48 hours got a cupcake. I can’t wait for an occasion to buy some more!<\/p>\n
