In this article, we’ll be talking about the most popular cupcake flavors at Sprinkles in Irvine Spectrum. We’ll also be showcasing their special flavors for November!
Best Sellers
These are cupcakes that are available all year round. They are high in demand and are often the flavors of choice for birthday parties, graduation gifts, Valentine’s presents, and more. Indeed, people flock to restaurants in Irvine Spectrum from far and wide just for a taste of these iconic cupcakes from Sprinkles.
1. Red Velvet
Red Velvet is the most popular cupcake flavor at Sprinkles. The base is made of Southern-style chocolate cake that has been dyed red. It’s then frosted with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting. The taste is a mix of sweetness from the cake and sourness from the frosting. It’s also so much fun to bite into it as you wouldn’t expect the red food dye in the cake to be so vibrantly red—a perfect treat for someone you love.
2. Dark Chocolate
It’s chocolate galore with the Dark Chocolate cupcake. The Belgian dark chocolate cake with high-quality cocoa is infused with Madagascar bourbon vanilla. Then, it’s topped with lots of yummy, bittersweet chocolate frosting that cut into the richness of the cake. And if you think it’s not chocolatey enough already, the frosting is coated with chocolate paillettes—a fancier way of saying chunky sprinkles.
3. Sprinkle
We can’t have a list of the best Sprinkles cupcakes without mentioning the original Sprinkles cupcake. This is a cupcake we know both children and adults will enjoy. It’s just so fun and colorful!
This cupcake aptly is made of a birthday cake base. You know the one—it’s beige with hints of rainbow colors all over the batter. Then, it’s loaded with a creamy buttercream frosting that’s coated with lots of rainbow sprinkles. They look like tiny little gumballs and add a lot of texture to the cupcake.
4. Strawberry
This pink delight is a fruity haven for those who prefer fruit-based flavors more than chocolate. The strawberry base is made with thick, strawberry puree and topped with strawberry frosting. Biting into it will feel like you’re biting into the real thing! In short, this cupcake is berry, berry good!
Seasonal
The fall season is upon us, which means that it’s that time of the year again when Sprinkles releases their fall-themed cupcakes. These cupcakes utilize a lot of spice and fresh ingredients and would go amazingly well with a hot mug of cocoa or pumpkin spice latte.
Make sure to head to Irvine Spectrum restaurants as soon as you can. These flavors are only available until mid-November!
1. Pumpkin
Of course, fall could never be complete without pumpkin-spiced everything.
At Sprinkles, they offer a simple yet elegant Pumpkin cupcake that’s bursting with flavor. The pumpkin cake batter is perfectly seasoned with ginger, clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon. On top of that, there’s cinnamon-flavored cream cheese frosting to really tie everything together.
It’s hard not to get pumped up with the Pumpkin cupcake.
2. Cinnamon Roll
Picture this: you’re strolling through Irvine Spectrum restaurants bickering with your loved ones about what to have for dessert. Do you want cupcakes or cinnamon rolls? Well, Sprinkles fixes that problem for you by offering a Cinnamon Roll cupcake. Double the trouble, double the fun!
The Cinnamon Roll cupcake truly spoils you because the inside of the cupcake is stuffed with a sweet cinnamon sugar filling. The whole thing is then topped with cream cheese frosting and a swirl of cinnamon glaze just like you’d see on a real cinnamon roll!
3. Nutella French Toast
This cupcake might seem like a regular cupcake on the outside, but it’s the inside you’ll be dying to taste. This yellow cupcake is filled with a ton of Nutella in the middle. Even when you know there’s Nutella inside, you’ll still be surprised at how jam-packed the cupcake is!
The frosting, on the other hand, is maple cream cheese with a light dusting of cinnamon sugar. French toast in a cupcake—what’s not to love?
4. Astrology Series: Chocolate Orange (Sagittarius)
Sprinkles is no stranger to seasonal cupcake flavors, and one of the fun themes they have is astrology. Every month or so, they release a cupcake flavor based on an astrological sign. For November, this is Sagittarius!
The Sagittarius cupcake is truly a thing of beauty. It’s officially flavored as Chocolate Orange. Here, orange extra virgin olive oil cake is stuffed with orange marmalade. Then, instead of frosting, the top of the cupcake is dipped in thick, chocolate ganache.
