Last week we went to Kara’s Cupcakes, which opened at Santana Row a month or so ago. Tonight, since we decided to have dinner in Palo Alto, we decided to first swing by Sprinkles Cupcakes at Stanford Shopping Center to get some cupcakes for dessert. First, as at Kara’s, we had to wait in line. Then, we entered the temple of cupcake, designed with an ultra-spare geometric aesthetic ruling the decor, with spotlights highlighting the cupcakes in their sleek cabinets. Apparently they were putting out enough cupcakes to have 6-7 cute young thangs moving behind the counter, taking orders, filling boxes, keeping the line moving.
“You know what this is?” Darin said.
“What?”
“This is the Cupcake Genius Bar.”
He’s right! It’s the Apple store of cupcakes! Soon, we will all be part of the postmodern aesthetic!
Kara’s has better cupcakes though.
