If you read my review of Glaceurs and Cupcakes, Montreal, you will see we have been on a quest to find the best cupcakes. It all started on my 40th birthday. Lou surprised me with a night at the Liberty Hotel complete with an in room massage. As I was lying on the table, there was a knocking at the door. The masseuse answered it and an employee was outside with a "birthday present". We both thought, AWESOME, the Liberty Hotel got me a birthday present! But, as it turned out, it was the Liberty Hotel's birthday, and they had sent us red velvet cupcakes to celebrate. The cupcakes were amazing, and so began our quest.

I found out about Sprinkles from "The Girl's Next Door", Bridgette, plugged them about a thousand times throughout the life of the show, so when we were in Hollywood, I wanted to see just how good they are.

The store front for Sprinkles is TINY, and the inside is as well. There are a couple tables out front for parties of two to sit at, and a wall of seats against the inside window, but expect to take your cupcakes to go.

We opted for the red velvet cupcakes but there are 21 flavors with seasonal flavors like pumpkin available. Not every flavor is available everyday, so check their website for any particular day.

The staff at Sprinkles was super friendly and very quick to serve us. We were greeted and served within less than a minute. The cupcakes came in a cute box, with the coolest wooden utensils with
Sprinkles embossed on the handle.

These cupcakes did not disappoint. They were moist, the cream cheese frosting was the perfect amount, and the size was generous. Sprinkles claims to have started the cupcake craze which has swept the nation over the past few years, and after tasting their cupcakes, I am not surprised.
