Sprinkles Now Open

A few months ago I went to a birthday party and my friend Anna had made Sprinkles frosting from Oprah, knowing how much Melanie loves Sprinkles. Again last week Melanie was saying how she couldn't wait for them to open in the valley. Well, they're here! They opened today in Scottsdale on Scottsdale and Camelback Road. I read an article in the paper that says they have frosting shots, which my cousin Auburn is going to be all over (I think I've posted this before but Auburn is my inspiration whenever I make frosting... I always wonder if she would like it and how I could make it better for such a connoisseur.)

I really want to go see what all the hype is about but I'll have to wait until I'm in the area, so then I won't feel as bad about cheating on my diet. I saw the owner, Candace Nelson, on the food network yesterday and she was adorable. The frosting I tried was awesome too. I don't doubt these cupcakes live up to their reputation. Still, three something dollars for a cupcake? I think I could make a wicked delicious cupcakes at three bucks a pop! Today I'm going to make Dorie's Quintuple Chocolate Brownies... I'm guessing that's going to be better than a cupcake to me! (photo from Sprinklescupcakes.com)
