Sprinkles!

I am not a trendsetter...I'm definitely a trend-follower. :) The hottest thing in Newport Beach (or at least in my office) is the new Sprinkles that just opened up. Now I am not always able or willing to follow all the trends...I can't afford couture and you won't catch me dead with a mini-dog in a purse or anything like that...but I can afford cupcakes! I guess the line is usually out of control, but as I left my office a gentleman was holding the coveted brown box and told me that there wasn't a crazy line today. I'm not a big dessert person, but I took the conversation as a sign and headed over on my way home. The flavors sounded amazing so I ended up getting 4...Pumpkin, Strawberry, Dark Chocolate, and Red Velvet (Oprah's fave). I tried a quarter of each one and the verdict is...Strawberry wins! It's delicious! It seriously was the best cupcake I have ever eaten. All of them were awesome. I usually don't like frosting, but this was light and perfectly flavored, not too sweet. So I say everyone needs to try it. See if you have one near you by going here. Just make sure you have plenty of milk!

The forks and knives are wood and so cute! If you are seen with one of these boxes, suddenly everyone is your friend!

The pumpkin...scrumdiddlyumptious!

    Heather,
    I can't believe that aal of my efforts to comment were erased with a push of a button. I AM a dope.
    How do you enlarge the pictures with a click of the mouse? I would like to use that feature for Gracie.
    BTW, I voted against Poppy. I have only heard of old time navy sailors with that name. I guess I will just have to salute alot.
    Aye, Aye !!

    ha ha...Blogger automatically makes the pictures bigger. Make sure they are in large format when they are saved on your computer, and then upload it to blogger like normal. Make sure you don't move it after you upload it, unless you go to html mode and move it by highighting the link. This may be confusing, because it was confusing to me at first! Call me up and I can explain it better!

    Great! Another cupcake place I have to go to next month! Have you been to Vanilla in Santa Monica?

    Uh, and yeah, no to the Poppy. Haven't you seen Pirates of the Caribbean?... "Come here Poppy... You know we don't want to hurt you..." Or wait... are they saying puppy?

    I have not been to Vanilla. I never go to Santa Monica anymore...it's too far away.

    Yeah, I do love the name Poppy, but it may make her more susceptable to persecution. They may call her 'Papi Chulo' :)
