nice report, Sweet employee. Just kidding! I’ve had their red velvet cupcakes and the day that I went they seemed like they could be a little more moist. Decent frosting. definitely better than Kickass Cupcakes in Davis...

I like Sprinkles Cupcakes. I went on the 2nd day around 4:35pm and waited in line for about 20 minutes. Line moves slowly and the sun was bright but it was ok. Once inside you can see the 10 or so flavors they have for the day....
