Like the Real Housewives and botched plastic surgery jobs that came before it, a Beverly Hills import is making its way to the Upper East Side. L.A.-based bakery Sprinkles Cupcakes will be installing the city's first 24-hour cupcake ATM next week, dispensing tiny frosted baked goods round-the-clock for legions of low blood-sugared people wandering on Lexington Ave.
The cupcake ATMs have already been installed at Sprinkles locations in Beverly Hills, Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta. According to a company press release, the New York incarnation has a 760 cupcake-capacity, will be restocked with fresh cupcakes daily and can dispense up to four cupcakes, cookies and doggie cupcakes (??!!!???!!) at a time. It will also probably be a great place to propose.
The machine will be installed outside Sprinkles' bakery on Lexington Ave near 60th Street starting on Tuesday. You may recall that when cupcake ATM rumblings began a couple years ago, Sprinkles said they were planning to install them in midtown, downtown and the Upper West Side, so keep your eyes peeled for more diabetes machines around town at some point.
In other news, today Sprinkles installed a cupcake ATM in VEGAS, BABY, making it that much easier to eat away the $700 the angry slot machine leprechaun stole from you.
