Cupcake Update: Fall Flavors Baking Soon at Sprinkles

Come on, don't kid yourself: You love cupcakes. To break from your plain vanilla routine, and gobble up the flavors of fall, L.A.-based Sprinkles is prepping to bake batches of their Thanksgiving-inspired cupcakes...and we aren't talking Turkey and Gravy!
From November 19-28, they're making Orange Cranberry & Maple Spice and Pumpkin cupcakes which can be bought individually, or in their "EAT" box set paired with Red Velvet and Dark Chocolate cupcakes. Hint: This will make you a hit when you show up for that family gathering. If you've only got room for one, the Pumpkin is our pick thanks to its moist and slightly spiced cake, and not-too-sweet frosting.
Until then, mix things up on the salty-sweet side with their special Salty Caramel cupcake, available starting tomorrow for just ten days.
