iSparkle Cupcakes

Very cute shop! First visit we purchased 5 «pretty» cupcakes and only 2 were tasteful and only 1 tasted like the name it was called. On visit 2 (a few weeks later) we asked the owner about the flavors that were not in the cupcakes we purchased. She said it should have tasted like the names. We expressed our disappointment with how she names them vs the flavor because 4 out of 5 did not reflect the name. Blueberry cupcake… Not only did the cupcake not taste like blueberry but the «blueberry» on top was not even a blueberry. The mint cupcakes are vanilla dyed green and the only flavor we could taste was the chocolate chips. The cookie dough is more of a sugar peanut butter blend (very grainy). Our favorite cupcakes to date… Cookies and cream, salted Carmel and maple bacon. Our last visit was last week and we have to travel to get to her location (we are opposite side of town) and she was closed… during the week. We follow her on Facebook as well and nothing was posted on that site (this is not the first time that we have traveled to find her closed). We ended up stopping at a new bakery in town. We now have 3 sweet bakery’s in a 15 mile radius (2 just opened) It will be interesting to see how I Sparkle is impacted. She’s got the «pretty» look but the flavors are up for grabs in my opinion. Overall we will continue to visit I Sparkle because the cupcakes are cute. My recommendation to new customers… ALWAYS ASK what the cupcake tastes like vs the name and if you are traveling there CALL ahead since she closes without notice.

We used to visit iSparkle when we lived in the area. What makes it great is the enthusiasm of the young owner… she is awesome! The regular sized cupcakes are fantastic (and she does many flavors, but on different days to mix it up). The large, cake-​size, cupcakes aren’t as tasty — but they look great :)
