Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Sprinkles is all about cupcakes - founded in 2005 by Candace and Charles Nelson, Sprinkles is a bakery that specializes in cupcakes.

They thought, why were there so many custom and celebratory cake options, but not so many for cupcakes? So they established Sprinkles. Its colorful and themed cupcakes have garnered a steady fanbase. Fast forward to 2024, Sprinkles now has 24 locations throughout the United States, and it's planning its global expansion in other cities including Tokyo and London.

I was debating between the cake and cupcakes for Valentine's Day this year, and I decided to go with the cupcakes as they're so much easier to share and store. The leftover cupcakes can be frozen and thawed, so I totally had the excuse to buy a dozen, ha! 



Sprinkles had a special Valentine's Day menu from limited-edition cupcakes to cookies. Everything looked amazing. I resisted the urge to pre-order everything! 

Fortunately, I was able to order the cupcakes just in time for Valentine's Day. They are only available for a limited time from 1/29 to 2/14, and luckily, I put in the order on the 13th. I got the XOX Bundle and had it scheduled for pickup at the Grove location on the 14th. 



It's a small shop by the parking structure at the Grove, but it's got all the goodies. 



The XOX Bundle includes 3 Dark Chocolate, 3 Red Velvet, 3 Vanilla, and 3 Raspberry Chocolate Chip cupcakes. It also includes a complimentary Valentine's gift wrap. 



The "gift wrap" wasn't as fancy as I had expected, but it's just as the order page depicted it. 



Initially, I wanted the I Love You Bundle because the colors looked prettier, but it didn't include the Dark Chocolate cupcakes. One of my family members loves chocolate cupcakes, so I had to get the XOX Bundle. The I Love You Bundle contains 4 Red Velvet, 4 Vanilla, and 4 Raspberry Chocolate Chip cupcakes. 



When I was picking it up, the sales associate told me the Raspberry Chocolate Chip is a Valentine's Day exclusive flavor and has been selling very well.

It is indeed so pretty and delicious. I mean, raspberry and chocolate? Duh!

Although cupcakes are Sprinkles' main product, it also has other sweets like cakes, cookies, and chocolate bars.

The Raspberry Chocolate Chip Layer Cake is a cake version of the Raspberry Chocolate Chip cupcake. It is made of moist Belgian dark chocolate cake sheets studded with generous chocolate chips and is layered and topped with fruity raspberry frosting. 



Let's unbox this beauty and share the love - look how lovely these cupcakes are. 



Each cupcake is beautifully decorated. 



These are the 4 flavors. 



Frosting's the best part. 



I'm honestly so glad that I ordered the XOX Bundle because this Double Chocolate cupcake rocks. 



These cupcakes are also great as corporate gifts. 



If you still can't decide, it doesn't hurt to get the sampler.

The Valentine's Sampler includes 2 Heartthrob Red Velvet, 2 Raspberry Chocolate Chip cupcakes, 4 brownies, 4 cookies, and 2 frosting shots (salted caramel and cream cheese).

 

I'm definitely ordering more Sprinkles for the next special occasion. Or who knows, I might pick up a cupcake or two next time I go to the Grove.
