Sprinkles Cupcakes, the icing on the cake
Sprinkles Cupcakes are hardly a secret — and with good reason. Uncomplicated, delectable, and pure, Sprinkles tempts even health-obsessed Los Angelinos to wait on long lines for the tiny treats. Whipped up from scratch throughout the day using only the best natural ingredients, these desserts are seriously delicious. Whether you go for simple dark chocolate or strawberry, or experiment with a chai latte or lemon coconut, Sprinkles exceeds any expectations one might have for a cupcake. And now on until tomorrow, check out their ode to St. Patrick’s Day. If the red velvet cakes colored green are not your thing, try the Irish Chocolate — dark Belgian chocolate cake topped with Bailey’s Irish cream cheese frosting. Creamy icing delivers sweet, intense flavor softened by cool, moist, subtle cake. Matched with cold milk or hot tea, don’t be surprised if you fall off your chair — or stool as it were. The flagship Beverly Hills boutique is a simple, pure space, flooded with natural light and accented by touches of playfulness. Designed by architect Andrea Lenardin, the shop is intended to reflect Sprinkles philosophy of clean, uncomplicated products.

Lyon-based Babylon Circus is music laced with ska, gypsy, rock, vaudevillian antics, dancehall and reggae. Their first Australian East Coast tour in 2008 saw the nine piece band sell every show out. They feature on the So Frenchy So Chic compilation. We asked them to tell us about their favourite music right now, and they started with Django Reinhardt’s Minor Swing [listen below]: ‘Backstage, home, in the bus, cooking or having breakfast, is there a time you wouldn’t love to hear this one? We love it anytime, any style, too, as it’s been remixed and rearranged so many different ways. Still, we love the original best’.

There’s no need to stand in long lines. There are many copycat places like this AND you can easily make these at home. Besides the cake batter and ingredients (which are fairly simple to make, like any cake), the most important element of the cupcakes is the rich butter icing that sets these apart from other treats and why people will wait in line (and the lack of guilt from such a “small” cake). Look up recipe for butter icing (probably not the correct gastronomical term) to make at home and enjoy!
