It's not every day that you'll find a single cupcake selling for $3.25, but it's also not every day that you can find celebrities lining up for something that costs less than $5, just two blocks away from Rodeo Drive. Sprinkles opened in mid 2005,
in a small, 500 square foot storefront on Little Santa Monica Blvd., and
almost immediately became a hit with the stars. Barbra Streisand
sent the Sprinkles cupcakes to Oprah Winfrey
and Oprah was crazy about them, and shared them with her show's studio
audience.
Jake Gyllenhaal is a fan. So are Courtney Cox, Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba, Lucy Liu and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. And so is Jennifer Love Hewitt, who serves them to her "Ghost Whisperer" cast & crew. Sprinkles has about 20 different
flavors of cupcakes (10 of them on sale on any given day), Sprinkles' cupcakes feature "a high frosting-to-cake ratio". And in fact, If you want, you can get a small shot of just pure frosting for 75 cents. Sprinkles made special cupcakes for the Oscars (topped with small stars), and special flourless cupcakes for Passover (with silver icing and a blue star on top).

recently opened a second Sprinkles shop in Newport Beach (in The
O.C.) , and are eyeing the rest of the country... [For
