Sprinkles vs. The Cupcakery

As most everyone knows...I love cupcakes. Well, trendy little cupcake shops are apparently the new thing, so Eddy and I decided that we'd slowly try them all and rate them. Okay, so this is how we spend out time and Sundays...crazy I know!

The one on the left is from The Cupcakery in Frisco and the one on the right is from Sprinkles in Dallas. Everyone thinks we are totally crazy with our love of Sprinkles and most don't think they are as good as we do...so, is The Cupcakery better?? I'm going with no. The cake didn't hardly have any flavor. I mean, I can make a Pillsbury box with more flavor. The icing was okay, but a little to soft for my liking. They were a bit cheaper than Sprinkles, but only by fifty cents. And the decorating was a bit more extravagant, but who care what they look like! It's all in the taste! We also decided to rate service, since some think Sprinkles can seem snobby. Service at Sprinkles was even better than The Cupcakery. Just not very friendly and didn't really act like they cared to be there.

This is how we cut our cupcakes to eat them...again, we are crazy! But this way we get to taste more flavors without eating way too much! The pink one was a Strawberry Shortcake from The Cupcakery. It was a bit better than the Red Velvet, but not much. All in all, Sprinkles still has my heart in the cupcake world. A new shop called Dimples Cupcakes opens in Plano on Friday, so we'll see how that goes!
