We taste tested the cinnamon, lemon, key lime, chocolate marshmallow and chocolate banana. We all agreed the cinnamon could be a breakfast treat, it tasted like a freshly baked doughnut with just the right amount of frosting. Same goes for the chocolate banana, which had a simple powdered sugar frosting. I thought the frosting was light enough for the banana cake, which had real bananas in it, though others were left craving a buttercream frosting. The lemon was a huge hit, as was the key lime. I'm not a huge fan of key lime, but this wasn't very "key-limey" as one of the members pointed out. The chocolate marshmallow fell flat with several members of the group, including myself. While I was the most excited for that one, it really missed the mark.
As Sweet Mandy B's loyalists, I think we were all surprised by how much we liked Sprinkles. Although I normally gravitate towards rich chocolate cupcakes, I liked the chocolate banana and cinnamon the best. I still think Sweet Mandy B's has the best standard cupcake, but I'd be willing to have a cupcake challenge with the dreamsicle cupcake against Sprinkles lemon cupcake.
Chicagoans, have you tried Sprinkles yet? What do you think?
