    We used to visit iSparkle when we lived in the area. What makes it great is the enthusiasm of the…read moreyoung 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 :)

    Very cute shop! First visit we purchased 5 "pretty" cupcakes and only 2 were tasteful and only 1…read moretasted 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.

    The ladies that helped me were amazing. I had so many questions and about the cupcakes and they…read moreanswered all of them! Before I go into detail about each one I had, I want to say that all of them were good and have a filling! If that isn't reason enough to check out this bakery, I don't know what is. Red Velvet: This one was my favorite! The cream cheese frosting, red velvet cake, and chocolate ganache-like/pudding center should be proof enough. I would eat this cake until I got sick. It is fantastic! Lick the Bowl: The lady that was helping me said that this is the best seller. Its oreo-flavored icing is light and tastes like it was whipped. This cake is moist and bring the flavors of the cupcake together very well. Lastly, a mini brownie and cookie dough piece both garnish the top. Peanut Butter Cup: A good choice if you like peanut butter. The chocolate cake is either dry or overcooked. However, the icing has a rich flavorful taste and the center is a chocolate ganache. Cookie Dough Craving: Perfect if you like cookie dough. The buttercream icing is my favorite. However, the chocolate cake is either dry or overcooked. It is garnished with a piece of cookie dough and the center is the same. I recommend going to this bakery if you're in or around Appleton!

    I'm so sad to say that I wasn't a fan of my cupcakes. They looked beautiful, and I had such high…read morehopes. The "strawberry" filling tasted like cherry cough syrup. It was the farthest thing from any strawberry cake topping I've ever had. The sprinkles were so weird. The pink sphere sprinkles dissolved in the frosting, but the white spheres were so rock hard that they could have broken a tooth. The champagne cake was more sour than I expected having loved other champagne cakes in the past, but the texture was nice and light. The service was wonderful and I'm sure they have better items, I was just bummed to pay such a high price for cupcakes that ultimately didn't get eaten. Only 1 person out of our 9 person gathering enjoyed them.
