Sprinkles Cupcake ATM

Sprinkles Cupcake ATM is a cupcake ATM machine that is open 24/7, and has a number of cupcake ATMs across the United States. When I first heard about this cupcake ATM, I wasn’t quite sure how a cupcake from an ATM would taste. The cupcake ATM is positioned outside their bakery shop, so they can stock the ATM with fresh cupcakes every day. I stopped by the one in Nashville, Tennessee that offered a wide variety of flavors such as dark chocolate, banana, carrot, chocolate marshmallow, cinnamon sugar to name a few. I chose the red velvet cupcake, and was truly surprised with the result. It was the moistest and tastiest cupcake I’ve ever eaten. In fact, they also offer a doggy cupcake, if your taking your pooch for a walk. If you are in an area with a Sprinkles cupcake ATM, I highly recommend stopping by the cupcake ATM machine to try their cupcakes. You definitely won’t regret it!!! If you stop by to try a Sprinkles cupcake bakery with a cupcake ATM, let me know what you think.
