Just when I thought I had made my last trip to Sprinkles this year they released a new flavor… margarita! Sounds good right…wrong. Some things shouldn’t be messed with.
Also, following in the footsteps of In-N-Out, Sprinkles decided to introduce secret off the menu flavors. First on the list – Neapolitan: vanilla cake with strawberry frosting dipped in chocolate.
See how they ranked here

*these cupcakes are from May 2013…better late than never…

Last weekend we made a trip to Sprinkles to try the new Cuban coffee cupcake. While there I also picked up a vegan red velvet (this was recommended by a reader) and a triple cinnamon. I don’t know how this (triple cinnamon) slipped by me but it must be relatively new because they don’t list it on the menu posted on the wall in the store and it’s available 7 days a week!
Check out how they ranked here

S'more - Belgian dark chocolate cake filled with bittersweet chocolate ganache, topped with toasted marshmallow with a graham cracker crust

Although not photogenic, I had to show you the inside. The graham cracker bottom was genius!
Blake Lively of “Gossip Girl” teamed up with Sprinkles to create a cupcake for charity. 100% of the proceeds from the SUPER FABULOUS S’more cupcake will go to Oxfam.
Hurry up and go get one because it’s a top 5 flavor!
xoxo…Bay Area Foodie
Note: Only available January 6 to February 2, 2012

Three years down… So this little blog that could keeps chuggin’ along.
What to look for in 2011 from Bay Area Foodie: Maui madness in March, a 5 year wedding anniversary French Laundry dinner in July (if I can get a reservation), 4th of July in Carmel and a Boston Bonanza in August. Plus, we’re trying to lose weight by exercising more (Goal =5k in October) and eating right (when not on vacation :cool:) so I’m subscribing to Cooking Light Magazine. Get ready for some healthy recipes.
I’m gonna leave you with my favorite photo of this month. Edison in much anticipation of eating his first “new and improved” Sprinkles doggie cupcake. The cakes are just like the real deal – soft and smell of vanilla. The old kind was solid as a rock. I know for sure they are made in-house now not sure if the previous version was outsourced or they just overhauled the recipe…either way Ed loves them!

I’m all shook up….finally a new flavor from Sprinkles! “The King” – a mixture of peanut butter and banana honored Elvis’ 76th birthday and was only available for 3 days (Jan 7-9,2011). Now I wish his birthday was all year long. See how it ranked.
Sprinkles has a string of new flavors coming within the next 2 months!

You’ve heard me discuss my Sprinkles obsession in the past. Now I’m taking it to a whole new level. There are 23 regularly featured Sprinkles cupcakes plus 17 seasonal and I am on a mission to try them all! My plan is to go once a month to the Palo Alto store and buy no more than 6 flavors at a time. By my calculation it will take me 12 months to accomplish the task of eating all 40. Are you up for the challenge? Join me! MISSION COMPLETED SEPT 2009 but when new flavors are introduced I add them to the list.
I adore these cupcakes but all are not created equal. Here is how I rank them…
- Red Velvet – super moist, the light chocolate cake and cream cheese frosting are perfect complements
- Banana – very moist, bananalicious!
- Brown Sugar Praline* – best seasonal cake, fantastically crunchy and sweet, should be a regular flavor
- S’more* – simply genius… the graham cracker bottom is divine & the gooey marshmallow finger lickin’ good, pls make it a regular flavor!
- “The King” (banana cake/peanut butter frosting)* – I’m all shook up… the peanut butter was like skippy, needs to be a regular flavor
- Strawberry – hint o’ strawberry is lovely
- Peanut butter chocolate – soft chips, moist cake, flavors remind me of a See’s Milk chocolate Bordeaux candy
- Maple bacon* – they didn’t skimp on the bacon and it’s real not that fake bac-0 bits stuff
- Lemon – yummy light lemon flavor, dense cake
- Lemon meringue* – like S’more subtract chocolate add lemon
- Pumpkin – awesome cinnamon frosting
- Eggnog spice* – eggnog frosting rocks
- Cuban coffee* – just enough spice and great coffee flavor
- Salty caramel* – good caramel flavor frosting, salt on top is nice
- Lemon blueberry* – think blueberry muffin w/ lemon frosting – another good morning treat
- Triple cinnamon – advertised as a cinnamon roll, tasted more like a snickerdoodle cookie
- Almond dark chocolate* – flavor of a poppyseed muffin minus the seeds. I wish it didn’t have sliced almonds in it.
- Vanilla milk chocolate – a classic cupcake
- Cinnamon sugar – a cupcake with NO frosting, great for breakfast
- Green tea* – very flavorful NEW
- German chocolate* – cool chunky frosting, wish it tasted more coco-nutty
- Flourless chocolate*- dense yet moist, similar to a super rich chocolate brownie
- Orange – similar to lemon but with orange flavor
- Vanilla peppermint* – great combo,very festive
- Peanut butter chip – creamy cake, like a mouthful of peanut butter
- Key Lime* – very subtle lime flavor initially but has a zesty finish
- Orange cranberry* – tasty combo
- Raspberry* – solid cupcake, nice raspberry flavor
- Milk chocolate – not overly chocolaty
- Dark chocolate – didn’t think I was going to like this since I prefer milk chocolate but it was good w/ a glass of milk
- Caramel apple* – didn’t get any real caramel apple flavors, just spice
- Gingerbread* – tis the season NEW
- Irish Chocolate* – wish the frosting had more Baileys flavor
- Vanilla hazelnut chocolate* – if you think this is going to taste like nutella…you’re wrong
- Chocolate marshmallow – like a ding dong but needs more marshmallow
- Sprinkle – for 10 yrs I expected more. NEW
- Vegan red velvet – if u want a coconut cupcake get this- if u want red velvet …don’t
- Pistachio* – bland NEW
- Coconut – great coconut frosting, cake a bit dry though
- Raspberry chocolate chip* – nice combo but cake was dry
- Vanilla- sprinkles on top were too sweet
- Ginger maple* – nice frosting, too much ginger
- Chai latte – herbal flavor with spice frosting
- Chocolate coconut- dry cake, didn’t like dark chocolate frosting
- Carrot- if you like carrot cake, you’ll like this (I’m not a fan)
- Ginger lemon – good on their own but a weird combo
- Mocha – had high hopes for this – very good mocha flavor but with the choc cake was just bla
- Apple cinnamon* – apple chunks…no bueno NEW
- Banana chocolate – the chocolate frosting masks the banana cake
- Neapolitan* – just tastes like chocolate
- Lemon coconut – dry,dry,dry
- Chocolate peppermint* – too much chocolate
- Choco loco* – cinnamon and chocolate is not my favorite combo
- Black & White – really bland
-
Margarita* – tasted like salt
- Summer Cherry* – tasted like cough syrup
- Red Hot Velvet* – frosting tasted/smelled like Dentyne gum (which I despise) & overpowered the cake
*seasonal/ limited edition flavors / secret menu
