My mom woke me up this morning saying that "There are Sprinkles cupcakes waiting for you". I thought I was hearing things.
*FYI, I am perfectly capable of getting out of bed by myself. It is just that today, I was very tired. :P
I sprang out the bed asking how did they end up in our home in Seoul. My cousin, a devotee of Sprinkles Cupcake was on a business trip to LA and brought back some for us. They were hand delivered to our door today morning. Bless him.
It is impossible to get cupcakes -decent ones- in Seoul. For some reason, people cannot differentiate between muffins and cupcakes. So more often than not, I end up buying muffins with fancy icing that claim to be cupcakes. Cupcakes are light. They are really a miniature version of cakes. They are for treats, birthday parties and tea. Muffin is heavier than cake. It is served for breakfast. Anyways...
Some people do not think highly of Sprinkles, but for me, theirs are the best ones I have ever had so far, so do bear with me when I make songs and dances about them.
Since Red Velvet Cupcake is too sweet for breakfast, I brought them to work for my mid-morning snack with tea. It was too sweet to finish in one go, so I saved half for afternoon.
Sickly sweet, yet so blissful.

I only tried their red velvet cakes, but other flavours seem equally delicious.

Oh my...look at the thickness of that layer of icing!!
reminds me of the cakes from the cake sales which we used to have at school back in south africa!
i used to love those cake sales, simply because of the icing!
I think you can buy just pots of icing from the shop, too. Some spoilt kids would buy cupcakes, scrap off the top with their teeth and throw away the cake.
Oh mine~~don't we have the same problem in HK!! For many times I've fell into the trap of cupcake wannabes. People just have no idea the differneces between cupcakes and muffins!! Btw I wish I have cousin like yours ;P
