Sprinkles

Featured on television shows like Good Morning America and the Oprah Winfrey Show, Sprinkles is the place in Los Angeles to get gourmet cupcakes. This increasingly popular dessert takes one of America's favorite baked treats to a whole new level, offering 10 varieties a day, 5 of which are always available and the remaining 5 of which vary from day to day. Flavors range from the basic (milk chocolate or strawberry) to the exotic (ginger lemon or chai latte). The shop is hugely popular, but also a bit pricey (at $3.25 a pop), so if indulgent desserts are your thing, be sure to make a stop here.
