Sprinkles Will Hand Out Free Cupcakes On Its 10th Birthday

It's hard to believe that a decade has passed since Sprinkles first opened in Beverly Hills in 2005. Cupcakes, they grow up so fast. (Single tear.) In celebration of its milestone birthday, the folks at Sprinkles will be giving out free cupcakes on April 13. Let your inner sweet tooth rejoice.
Sprinkles workers will be handing out a free cupcake to every person that stops by any of the Sprinkles locations all day long while they're open that day, NBC Los Angeles reports. Luckily for us Angelenos, we have plenty of Sprinkles locations—Glendale, Beverly Hills, Fairfax District, downtown L.A., and Westlake Village—to keep us sated and full of cupcakes.
And if you want to get an insider look at Sprinkles, the bakery's founder, Candace Nelson will make an appearance at the Grove to talk to fans from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.
