Sprinkles Cupcakes

Sprinkles Cupcakes, founded in 2005 by Candace and Charles Nelson, is renowned as the world's first cupcake bakery. The couple, both former investment bankers, sought to elevate the humble cupcake into a gourmet experience.

Their inaugural store, located in Beverly Hills, California, quickly gained popularity, selling 2,000 cupcakes in its first week.

Sprinkles offers a diverse range of baked goods, including cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and layer cakes. Their cupcakes are crafted with high-quality ingredients such as sweet cream butter, pure Madagascar Bourbon vanilla, and Callebaut chocolate.

The bakery is also known for its innovative offerings like vegan and gluten-free cupcakes, as well as dog-friendly treats.

In 2012, Sprinkles introduced the Cupcake ATM, a 24-hour automated machine that dispenses freshly baked cupcakes, providing customers with convenient access to their favorite treats at any time.

Over the years, Sprinkles has expanded its presence across the United States, including multiple key cities and neighborhoods.
