Sprinkles' snack food revolution starts today, when their highly-touted 24-hour-access "automat" goes into service Tuesday morning. "Starting today at 10am, customers will be able to purchase freshly baked cupcakes from 24-Hour Sprinkles!" a Sprinkles rep tells us.
The vending machine, nicknamed the "Cupcake ATM," is located outside their flagship Beverly Hills cupcake shop.
The machine will stock rotating flavors and be refreshed daily; popular flavors, like Red Velvet, will always be included. The machine holds 600 cupcakes, and cupcakes cost $4 each.
On Facebook, Sprinkles has been tempting cupcake lovers by asking them where else they'd like to see a 24-Hour cupcake automat installed. The machines are already headed to New York this summer.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced.
