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.
Go get 'em, cupcake lovers! And if you snap a picture, send it our way!
UPDATE 11:50 AM
The Huffington Post went to Beverly Hills this morning to make a purchase from the cupcake ATM and they made a video showing how the machine works.
