is chock full of new stuff this week — including new eats, new gear, and new construction updates! Let’s see what’s shakin’!
When it comes to Valentine’s Day, sweets and a cupcake from Sprinkles are definitely at the top of our list!
This month Sprinkles is celebrating Valentine’s Day with new cupcake flavors, special deals, and more! And, they’re also celebrating the Winter Olympics (which start February 9) … so it’s safe to say this February is a great time to stop by Sprinkles in Disney World’s Disney Springs or Disneyland’s Downtown Disney District!

You know this: I have never once argued against having CUPCAKES FOR BREAKFAST while on a Disney vacation. In fact, I maaaay have been known to encourage it from time to time.
Well, as it turns out, I’m not the only one who thinks this is a good idea… because the fine folks at Sprinkles are serving up BREAKFAST CUPCAKES through the month of January!!
Each week will feature a different cereal topping a Sprinkles Cupcake. From now through January 7th, you can order up a Fruity Pebbles Cupcake (this one has a birthday cake base topped with lemon vanilla frosting).

You all know that my love of Sprinkles knows no bounds.
What may surprise you, though, is that this has just as much to do with the non-cupcake items as much as the famous Sprinkles Cupcakes. From Frosting Shots to Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches (have you SEEN my brownie, cookie, and Cap’n Crunch cereal ice cream creation?!?), there’s a LOT to dig once you step inside Sprinkles. But you’ve gotta bypass the Cupcake ATM for that… or just make a plan to stop by again later ;-D.
So today, I thought I’d share a little bit of both with you from my most recent trip to Sprinkles. So, we’ll check out some classic Sprinkles cupcakes (in a bit of a new way) AND a killer cookie. (Remember that you’ll find Sprinkles on both coasts — in Disney World’s Disney Springs, and in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney. Most menu items are found in both locations.)
Seriously, you can always find something to satisfy your sweet tooth. And with lots of still-new stuff at Disney Springs, you’ll want to be over there anyway. (Plus, the holidays in Disney Springs are sure to be a massive hit in 2017, with ten new additions to Christmas Tree Trail and Santa in his Chalet!!)
Let’s cover the cupcakes first. Because when you’re standing before the glorious case of perfectly coiffed cupcakes at Sprinkles and not sure you can pick just one, the Cupcake Minis are a fabulous option. At $2 each, you can mix and match and get three for just over the price of one full-size cupcake. That’s what I did. Because more cupcakes is always better.

You know we love our cupcakes here at DFB. But when we want a sweet treat, we often find ourselves at Sprinkles. Sprinkles is, like, cupcake heaven. And with amazing options like Cupcake Sundaes and Frosting Shots, the hits keep comin’.
Plus that ice cream sandwich with the cap’n crunch ice cream? Just yes.

Heeeeeeyyyyy! As all of you know, I just returned to from a fantastic visit to Disneyland for the opening of the 2017 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival! But I also had a blast checking into all of my favorite spots.
I made a point to get to one place especially — the new Sprinkles located in the Downtown Disney District in Disneyland Resort!
You guys — I make NO secret about my deep and abiding love for Sprinkles. Well, my love for cupcakes in general goes deep. After all, Disney Cupcakes are some of my favorite things ever.
And there’s something well, magical, frankly, about having Disney and Sprinkles located in the same place.
And now, I can enjoy that Disney Sprinkles fun whether I’m in Walt Disney World or Disneyland!
As I entered the store, a glance at the menu showed me that many of my favorites were available on the day of my visit. This outlet is much smaller than the Disney Springs store, however. [Read more…]

There is so much to love about Sprinkles. The Cupcakes. The Ice Cream. The Cookies. The outrageous combos thereof.
But you just knew that sooner or later, we were gonna talk Frosting Shots. And today’s the day!
Remember a couple of weeks back when I went all Sprinkles Crazy on you?
There were the killer Seasonal Cupcakes. And of course, that outrageous Ice-Cream-Cookie-Brownie-Sammie that I’m still dreaming about. (And now, so are you.)
But I also took the opportunity to get a couple of my favorite Sprinkles menu items — Frosting Shots — while I was at it.
You see, I loooooooovvvvvve Frosting. If you’ve been reading DFB for any amount of time, then you already know this. So a treat that’s nothing but the good stuff? Sign me up.
I discovered Sprinkles’ frosting shots at my local Sprinkles location here in Dallas, TX, years and years ago. So when I saw that the Disney Springs store had them, I couldn’t help myself. [Read more…]

::Gasp!:: OK, I know that’s a LONG title…but I HAD to let you know what we’re in for!
I stopped by the new Sprinkles in Disney Springs on my recent trip to Walt Disney World. And I seriously could not. Stop. Trying new things.
You already know about their fantastic Cupcakes. And we’ve also shared our impressions of their Sundae — homemade Ice Cream craftily layered with your choice of Cupcake, so you get a lil bit of everything in every bite. HEAVEN.
But guess what? There’s even more!
I just shared those incredible Seasonal Cupcakes with you. (If the Lemon Meringue and the German Chocolate Cupcakes are gone when you’re there, look for the Caramel Apple and S’mores versions for Fall!)
But I’ve gotta come clean. That’s not all I tried while I was in town.
Because they also offer one of my most favorite things ever: Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches.
You know I’m a big fan of Disney’s version of these. But wait, just wait, until you see the outrageousness that awaited us at Sprinkles.
Let’s Go.
So the amazing thing about the Sprinkles Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich is that it’s totally customizable. Name your cookies. Name your ice cream. Mix and match to your heart’s content.
I’ve already offered you a little foreshadowing of what awaits. But let’s back up a little, because I want to show you how your Cookies come to you if you just order one solo. [Read more…]
