BLOG: ARIZONA: Gross out: Sprinkles Cupcakes gets iced by county inspectors - (Phoenix New Times)
August 26, 2008 – 11:59 pmI admit it, I’m shallow. About as deep as a cupcake, as long as it’s a super-cute, tasty one.
Which is a good part of why I’m willing to pooh-pooh the county’s most recent inspection report of Sprinkles Cupcakes, the boutique confectionary that finally opened earlier this year on the northeast corner of Scottsdale and Camelback roads.
This shiny chain is all about image, which is why I actually felt sorry for Sprinkles (I shouldn’t — a boxed cupcake at the place costs FIVE DOLLARS, for crying out loud) when I saw that they recently received a “No Award” citation for, basically, touching cupcakes with their bare hands.
