I surprisingly came across this adorable cupcake stand while I was perusing through Santa Monica Place. It seemed eerily similar to SPrinkles, which I thought was highly overrated the first time I tried it. I ordered the red velvet with the cream cheese icing (the only flavor I EVEr get, because I know I can't bake it myself), and it was pretty delicious. I guess it had to do with the fact that the batch I chose from was straight from the oven unlike the Sprinkles cupcake I ate which seemed to have been sitting in the glass display for hours.... So I guess, next time you visit a cupcake joint, you just have to be lucky with timing more than anything.
