NYC Welcomes Its First Cupcake ATM for Your 24-Hour Sweet Tooth




If you're a cupcake lover, you live in New York City and you're a fan of machines that dispense things, we have good news for you.

Sprinkles Cupcakes, a supplier of gourmet delectables to the elite, including Holly Madison, Mindy Kaling and even Santa Claus, is giving you what you need—a 24-hour cupcake ATM.

New York's first Cupcake ATM, which can hold 760 cupcakes at a time in 20 different varieties, is located next to the Sprinkles Cupcakes bakery on the Upper East Side. The cupcakes cost $4.25 each in flavors like red velvet, Cuban coffee, banana dark chocolate and cinnamon sugar. You can also get two special mini cupcakes designed for your dog for $5.

It's hardly the neighborhood where people are generally jonesing for a midnight fix. But who knows? Perhaps this machine can turn the UES into Alphabet City of the '70s.

Why is this an ATM instead of a vending machine? The price? I'd be hesitant because I'd want to know how long they'd stay fresh.

That could get rather expensive if they don't practically sellout everyday, but I guess it's the same concept of a regular bakery. Still not feeling gung ho about it. Of course I'm nowhere near NY so my opinion doesn't matter.

So do you do it to order, like if you want sprinkles on it? What about vermin?
