On Sunday my daughters and I were driving down Scottsdale Road when we noticed a store called Sprinkles Cupcakes.  My youngest daughter the ultimate princess decided we simply had to check it out.  I must admit I was fascinated too and intrigued that a store could just sell cupcakes.  We parked up and entered the store to find that indeed the store only sold cupcakes.  Needless to say to complete our research we decided we needed to try some.  We handled over our $7 for two of the delightful looking treats.  We rushed home to try these special cupcakes to find that well they tasted just like CUPCAKES!! Except a little on the sweet side.

I found it fascinating that the store was packed and the rest of Scottsdale Road deserted.  I find it hard to believe that a store could survive just selling cupcakes in any economy but in this economy mind boggling.  Apparently this is a Hollywood Phenomenon enough said!!
