Sprinkles ATM: Almond Dark Chocolate

Did you guess what flavor this was yet?

If you guessed Sprinkles: Almond Dark Chocolate, you are correct.

We purchased this cupcake out of the Sprinkles ATM! It's open 24/7 and gets loaded with fresh cupcakes daily!  Amazing!

Presentation : 7/10 Sprinkles

It looks like a typical Sprinkles cupcake with the button sprinkle, but we have no indication that this is almond!  We would have liked to see some almonds on the top!

Taste & Texture

Cake: The cake was vanilla with almond extract. This cupcake was SUPER dry! We are guessing that it's because it was in the ATM for a little too long.  You can definitely tell a difference in freshness between the ATM & the actual Sprinkles store.  There was a lot of almond extract in this cupcake and actual slices of almonds inside.  

Frosting: The frosting on top was a cherry almond flavor.  There was a hint of dark chocolate in the frosting and it was very creamy. The frosting melted in our mouths.  The sprinkle in the center of the cupcake was so hard that we both couldn't even eat it.  It was made out of sugar.

Overall:  

We both gave this cupcake 6/10. 

Shauna gave this rating because it was very dry.  She believes the presentation needs more almonds!  This cupcake reminded her of making Christmas cookies with almond extract.  

Katrina gave this rating because it tasted TOO strongly of almond extract.  She thought the flavor knocks you in the face the minute you take a bite of the cake part.  She loved the frosting because it was very creamy and tasted like a light chocolate.
