Sprinkles is the Hostess with the mostess

En route to Sprinkles cupcakes, pondering what cupcake to have I thought I'd give my dear friend's favorite lemon flavor a go plus, it's sweet-tartness would enhance the enjoyment of the sun filled Friday afternoon. Alas, lemon was not on the day's daily menu. 

Sprinkles calls it Chocolate Marshmallow, I call it choco-mallow: Belgium dark-chocolate cake, marshmallow creme and bittersweet chocolate ganache and because individual descriptions aren't advertised in the store I took my first bite not knowing what to expect aside from deliciousness. 



Initially my first bite brought back childhood memories of Hostess cupcakes you know the ones: two per pack, creme center with a chocolate dipped top accented with a white loopty lou...Sprinkles Chocolate Marshmallow cupcake is the grown up version made from scratch and minus all of those store shelf preservatives.


The marshmallow creme center contained no resemblance of a gummy-messy marshmallow consistency; it was indeed a marshmallow cream alluding to the flavor of marshmallows and while belgium dark chocolate cake can be easily overpowering especially when it is topped  off with rich chocolate ganache, Sprinkles managed to find a lovely balance as not to over-indulge anyone's palate. 

The only thing missing from Sprinkles cupcakes? Sprinkles.
