text: I would been patiently awaiting the arrival of Sprinkles Cupcakes in Scottsdale for many months the delay on the building was killing me and finally opening day came I live in South Chandler and luckily go to school at ASU so the drive up Scottsdale Road after class was not killer out of the way The line was out the door and there were very few varieties left even though there were still at least more business hours left for the day I had my heart set on a lemon cupcake but they claimed they did not have any left for the day a tray was set out as I was leaving the shop I picked up for sharing and one for the car ride home The price was certainly exorbant for cupcakes made my head spin but it was happily charged to my credit card thinking about how tasty these cupcakes were going to be nnI had a coconut cupcake for mile ride home The cake was dry The frosting was tasty but extremely sugary with the sweetened coconut on top There was not a cream cheese tang to the frosting that usually comes with good coconut cupcakes It tasted like regular buttercream to me I was let down But I had other varieties to try when I got homennIt was the same story with the other cupcakes Red Velvet Black and White Vanilla and Vanilla Milk Chocolate The cake was dry I highly doubt these were made that week and crumbly and the frosting just did not seem right The Red Velvet did not have the cream cheese tang just like the coconut The VanillaVanilla Milk Chocolate cakes were the worst They did not hold up to a knife at all The Black and White was the most moist out of the five varieties I tried but the chocolate flavor in the cake seemed almost burntnnI thought maybe these were maybe opening dayweek flubs but the consistancy has stayed the same I have been back two more times hoping that maybe they have worked it out but they really have not And somehow they have been out of the fruit flavor I had planned on getting each time I have been therennI was really disappointed in these cupcakes especially for the price I can whip up a batch of dozen frosted homemade cupcakes for less than of Sprinkles Cupcakes I should have known not to get caught up in the hype BTW Tammie Coe Cakes Ooey Gooey Cupcakes are much better if you are looking for a quick treat
