Candace Nelson founded Sprinkles Cupcakes. Her great grandmother had a restaurant in San Francisco and was renowned for her wonderful desserts during the 1930s. So as a result of this Candace and her husband decided to continue this and they opened their own cupcake bakery in Beverly Hills. The legacy of her great grandmother still continues.

Sprinkles, billed as the world's first cupcake bakery, has now spread to many other states and they have established a place in the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto. Also, stores will be opening in many more places in the future.

This place is phenomenal. The cupcakes taste outstanding. There are so many different flavors, such as banana, lemon, mocha, ginger lemon, cinnamon sugar, chocolate coconut and many more. There are certain flavors featured on each day of the week.

These cupcakes are very well balanced. They have equal amounts of frosting and cake.This produces a wonderful taste.

The staff at the Stanford Shopping Center the staff is friendly and the shop is clean. The location is very nice and isn’t always jam-packed.

A single cupcake will cost you $3.25 and a dozen are $36. The prices are worth it. These are ooey gooey cupcakes that melt in your mouth.

I love going there to eat cupcakes. They taste so wonderful. When I go to parties I always take a dozen or more of Sprinkles cupcakes. It’s a great dessert to eat.
