There are far better cupcakes than Sprinkles. I’ve never been to Kara’s (I live in LA), but I agree with you that Sprinkles frosting is too sweet and the cakes tend to be dry.

Maybe mine was sitting on the shelf a tad too long when I got it. And Lisa M: I'm not as thin as I used to be. Ah, my kingdom for the waistline I had in college. Sigh. But I believe in what the late-great Julia Child used to say: "Everything _ but in moderation.'' Don't deprive yourself, but choose wisely, and remember you don't have to eat the entire serving at once or at all. Hi Claudette: Good to know the Chocolate Marshmallow is indeed moist.

And, I still don't get how you can eat all this stuff and stay so thin LOL. I need to get there. If I ever do make it there, I aim to get at least a plateful too:-) Oh NO fair to dangle this entire plate of cupcakes before my very eyes!!

I was at Sprinkles yesterday at 10:30am and there was no line, and the Chocolate Marshmallow cupcake was not at all dry - in fact, it was falling-apart moist, which made it impossible to eat without a fork. It was good, but I like Kara's cupcakes a lot more, and for the same reasons you describe. Plus, those little colored dots on top of the Sprinkles cupcakes are cute, but tasteless and hard as nails.
