Below is an excerpt from from An Bui’s blog post titled Cupcake Comparison: Sprinkles, Kara’s, Boulder Baked and Cupcakes

While in I was in TriCities for business, Craig Sutton of networkTask and BrightWeb Marketing picked up cupcakes from Cupcakes Bakery and Deli. OMG. Yes, I just ‘OMG’ed. Why? Because these cupcakes were AMAZING – they weren’t too rich or too sweet. The texture wasn’t too crumbly either. They became even more amazing when Craig let on they were only $2.00/pop, or $20/dozen. While the presentation left much to be desired (the plastic boxes reminded me of meh cupcakes from any grocery store), the cupcake itself is a secret too good not to share.

Cupcake Comparison: Price
Sprinkles: 3.25 each or $36/dozen
Kara’s: 3.25 each or $36/dozen
Boulder Baked: 2.50 each or $27.50/dozen
Cupcakes: 2.00 each or $20/dozen

Cupcake Comparison: Location
Sprinkles: Beverly Hills, Dallas, Newport Beach, Phoenix – Scottsdale, SF – Palo Alto, Houston
Kara’s: San Francisco, Palo Alto, San Jose, Napa
Boulder Baked: Boulder
Cupcakes: Kennewick, WA

Cupcake Comparison: Packaging/Experience
Sprinkles: Line out the door but well worth the wait. Wooden knives and forks for those who share or are concerned with manners.
Kara’s: Upscale and posh, with pretty cardboard boxes.
Boulder Baked: Highly utilitarian for-here plates.
Cupcakes: Plastic Boxes – Plain and not the most environmentally friendly packaging that detracts from the cupcake experience.
