Behold the Sprinkles Cupcake ATM

Posted by Shirley Brady on March 7, 2012 01:42 PM

Sprinkles, the Los Angeles cupcake bakery, has installed its first ATM to dispense its frosted fare, as Huffington Post food blogger Lucy Blodgett demonstrates above. At $4 a pop (75 cents more than its regular cupcake price), the ATM is slated for New York and the brand's eight other U.S. locations, she hears. Naturally, the cupcake ATM now has its own Twitter feed. The idea expands on the company's Sprinklesmobile that launched in 2009. Also launching this spring: Sprinkles Ice Cream.

This is awesome, and reminds me of the old automat days (not that I was there!) or Japan's fetish for vending machines with unexpected items. Would love if it dispensed more than one at a time -- and could be ordered up using an app/mobile payment. Also, Sprinkles ice cream? Yum!
