Rainy Day Sprinkles Cupcakes

Okay. I gave in to the Hollywood hype…Sprinkles Cupcakes. It appears that Oprah, Tom, Katie, Posh, Becks and all those other over paid celebs out in the big CA love paying too much for cupcakes. Posh doesn’t even eat hers, apparantly, she’s too good to put anything sugar based in her system. But anyway, the world seems to be caught up in the Sprinkles cupcake craze and so I had to see if I could recreate a $3 cupcake using a from scratch recipe and Sprinkles very own icing recipe. I ended up making Pumpkin Cupcakes and the Sprinkles Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing. A GREAT combination. Why did I never think of adding cinnamon to cream cheese? These cupcakes are so yummy – not heavy – not too sweet like a chocolate cupcake would be – but the icing really is exquisite. Oh Lord. I had enough batter to make 16 cupcakes and enough icing to ice at least 20, but I put all of it on the 16 – YUM-O. Can’t have too much of that stuff.
