Cupcake Road Trip '11 - Day 1: Sprinkles Cupcakes - Palo Alto

When I graduated from grad school, my mom came out so she could help drive me back home to Alabama.  As my graduation present, we decided to make the trip a Cupcake Road Trip, hitting one cupcakery each day as we traveled across 7 states.  You can't do a cupcake road trip that starts in California without hitting one of the many Sprinkles Cupcakes. The original cupcakery, the Palo Alto location was a great start and helped set us on the right foot. In order to facilitate a good comparison across bakeries, we opted to get a red velvet at each, since that is one of the more common cupcake flavors it seems. For this stop, we chose four cupcakes.
