Designer cupcakes

sprinkles.jpgAs Sugar Week draws to a close, my daughter took me on a sugar tour of Beverly Hills. First stop, Sprinkles Cupcakes. These are the ones Paris Hilton loves so much they sent her some when she got out of jail.

The pint-sized cupcakes are made with exquisite ingredients in more than 20 different flavors; they cost $3.25 each or $36 a dozen. At 2-ish on a Friday afternoon, the line to get into the little shop was literally a block long.

Angelinos have too much money.

I'm giving you the link to the Sprinkles Web site, but they only ship locally -- by courier. However, you can order the cupcake mix.

When I cut in line to take a picture of the cupcakes themselves, they shooed me out. No photographs  allowed inside.

But they did look cute.

Have you seen Cupcake Royale (www.cupcakeroyale.com) in Seattle? Same price point. Lots of designer flavors. Their slogan: "Legalize Frostitution."
