At the Phoenix New Times blog Chow Bella, Amy Silverman muses about Sprinkles:
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.

In other Sprinkles non-lawsuit news, they're debuting a new flavor from September 5-14, made with lime in the cake and in the frosting:
