Sprinkles in a Box
You’re a master of illusion. You passed off your Banana Republic belt as vintage and your knockoff Prada bag as the real deal.
That’s why we tracked down this perfect-for-you hostess trick. Any gal who’s spent a little time in the kitchen (or crying over the mixing bowl) knows that the perfect cupcake mix isn’t easy to whip up. Especially when you’re up against cupcake masters like Bevery Hills’ Sprinkles, which commonly mixes things like Callebaut chocolate and pure Madagascar Bourbon vanilla into its recipe.
What’s that you say? You don’t have Callebaut on hand? Well, no worries, Houdini. You can order a Sprinkles mix for your next party—and no one will need to know.
Sprinkles mix flavors include dark chocolate, vanilla, lemon and red velvet, if you please. At $14 a pop, you can order by e-mailing eat@sprinklescupcakes.com or calling (888) 220-2210, or by visiting Williams Sonoma. It’ll even come complete with Sprinkles’ signature “Modern Dot” decorations. Ta da.
Now, if only the Big Apple’s varieties (Magnolia, Billy’s, Sweet Sugar Sunshine, Buttercup) would do the same. Until then, try out a cookbook or two.
We also think Ina Garten’s recipe is pretty genius, as well as Sprinkles’ cupcake trays. And if anyone wants to send a giftbox our way, we won’t complain.

I discovered the Red Velvet mix at Williams-Sonoma in March (and even posted about it, I was so excited, http://grantandbrit.blogspot.com/2007/03/i-heard-red-velvet-cupcakes-at_29.html ) and have made the little treats twice since then. I heart them!

Hmmm. I like to consider New York the cupcake capital of the continent. We’ll try you Sprinkles, and see if you hold up to Magnolia. May the best cupcake win!
