"I conceived the idea of an automatic cupcake machine after having late-night sugar cravings while pregnant with my second son," said Candace Nelson, founder of Sprinkles.
"Even as Sprinkles' founder, I couldn't get my midnight cupcake fix! I thought 'there has to be a way,' and so the concept of the Sprinkles Cupcake ATM was born!"
