Sprinkles NYC - Cupcake ATM

Last week, my friend Sai and I found out that we were the second place winners of our school's brick competition! We were both very excited, and upon hearing the news, we knew we had to celebrate with cupcakes. And what better place than the first cupcake store in New York City?

Right after class, we hopped onto the F train and headed to Lexington Avenue.

As we approached the store, we saw something different... there was a CUPCAKE ATM! At first, I was shocked; I thought the store was undergoing major renovation and could only serve their customers from the machine. Good thing I was wrong, because the real store was right next door.

The Cupcake ATM worked like a vending machine. You select a cupcake of your choice, and right after you pay, a robotic arm with a video camera attached to it grabs your cupcake and serves it to you. The cupcake is individually boxed and looks good enough to give as a gift. However, convenience comes with a price- $4.25, for that matter. It costs only 50 cents more than the cupcake you would buy in the store, and you also get to witness this amazing experience!

The most delicious ATM you will ever use

Sai and I decided to go into the store instead. It smells amazing inside. Everything in the store is adorable, from the chairs to the wallpaper. The service is always the best, and you will always leave with a smile on your face. :)

I bought a red velvet cupcake, and Sai bought a red velvet and a milk chocolate cupcake.

  

     

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

If you are planning on bringing your cupcake home, it's best to buy at least two, so you will get a nice box to carry them in. I only got one, and that was wrapped with a waxed paper bag. It ended up being squished by the time I got home. But it was still delicious!

      

Sai's cupcakes had better luck than mine.
