SIGN-UP FOR DAILY TIPS

If 10,000 LA Biters purchase one dozen vanilla cupcakes from Sprinkles during Earth Day week, we'll put $360,000 toward planting and maintaining local trees.

Birthday cakes (and cupcakes) started with the ancient Greeks, who offered round or moon-shaped honey cakes to the moon goddess Artemis.

The Bite

Got cute new wellie boots, but no rain to go with? Wear 'em over to Sprinkles Cupcakes, where it's pouring tastiness. You know the place - cakes baked and frosted to perfection daily in 20 flavors, including Seder-ready flourless ones. And now you can eat for a cause: this coming Earth Day week (Apr. 21-25), the proceeds of all Vanilla cupcakes (topped with green trees) go to TreePeople to plant trees locally. Equally sweet: The bakery's gift boxes, napkins, shopping bags, and plates are all recycled, and it leaves no cupcake behind, donating no-sells to local food banks each day (we're plotting how to get in on that). Tip: If you're short on time, call in your order...so you don't have to stand in line 'til May...
