Spinkles vs. Danties - Round One
In this corner we have the defending champion.
Ok, to be honest, I don't understand the Sprinkles phenomenon. I mean, they're good. I understand that. I've had 8 different flavors and their dark chocolate is damn good. Would I stand in line for an HOUR for one? Oh, hell no. I get cranky after my usual wait time of about 90 seconds. But, I don't feel like I want my $3 back after eating one. They're pretty and yummy.
Then I read about Danties. Now this seemed more up my alley. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. Granted, its not located in the heart of Beverly Hills. Its behind a Winchells about 2 miles west of Sprinkles, on the same street no less! There aren't 4 cute twenty somethings working the counter. Instead, you have what looks like a industrial kitchen with a large bakery case filled with beautiful cupcakes and very helpful business owners happy to talk to you about their product. As you can see from the picture above, the presentation is fantastic and they taste as good as they look. I have a feeling that once they sell a few thousand of these, they'll have a prettier shop with a very young eager staff.
Go to Danties, you won't be disappointed. But, more importantly, if you go, bring me one!
