Our review of the Sprinkles Black & White Cupcake at Disney Springs explores this everyday treat: Belgian dark chocolate cake with vanilla frosting — a dependable, if not dazzling, Disney dessert.
In a world where cupcakes at Walt Disney World seem to appear faster than Lightning Lane price changes, the Sprinkles Black & White Cupcake at Disney Springs stands as a mainstay among the ever-changing lineup of seasonal treats. While other cupcake limited-time flavors appear like confetti in a parade, this one keeps it classic. Maybe just a bit too classic?

Sprinkles Black & White Cupcake Disney Springs Review
The Sprinkles Black & White Cupcake sounds like a perfect dessert harmony: Belgian dark chocolate cake, creamy vanilla frosting, and dark chocolate sprinkles. It’s the kind of flavor combination that should make dessert lovers do a little happy dance down the Disney Springs promenade.
The first bite delivers exactly what you’d hope for. The vanilla frosting is the star, sweet, smooth, and perfectly balanced without being overly sugary. The dark chocolate sprinkles add a nice crunch and contrast. For a moment, it feels like cupcake bliss.
Then the cake portion steps in… and the performance dips.
The Belgian dark chocolate cake doesn’t quite match the intensity of its frosting counterpart. It’s fine, but a little underwhelming. While the frosting and sprinkles shine bright, the cake feels muted, missing the rich, deep flavor you’d expect from “Belgian dark chocolate.” On its own, it’s more “okay” than “outstanding.”
Still, when you land that ideal frosting-to-cake ratio, you understand why the Sprinkles Black & White Cupcake holds a permanent spot on the bakery’s menu. It’s a dependable choice with flashes of greatness, especially when every bite includes plenty of that creamy frosting.
More of a Background Performer
At a theme park resort where cupcakes appear for every season and reason, this one might not be the showstopper. It’s a classic, sure, but not necessarily the one guests will be rushing back for. Think of it as the cupcake equivalent of a reliable background performer in Disney’s dessert lineup. It is steady, likable, and always on stage, even if it doesn’t get the spotlight.
If you’re a dedicated Sprinkles fan or just craving something sweet between shops, this cupcake might be worth your time, especially if you’re visiting on a weekday afternoon with your annual pass in hand. Otherwise, you may want to explore other Disney Springs options that bring a bit more sparkle to their sugar rush.
