Sprinkles Cupcakes is Serving Breakfast Cupcakes Topped with Cereal
Katherine Pendrill — January 8, 2018 — Lifestyle
Sprinkles Cupcakes -- the brand most famous for its cupcake ATMs -- is now making headlines once again with its limited-edition Breakfast Cupcakes. Made with familiar childhood cereals like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Fruity Pebbles, the cupcakes bring together the best of breakfast and dessert.
The new Breakfast Cupcakes are a lineup of limited-edition treats available now until early February. The cupcakes themselves come in classic Sprinkles Cupcakes flavors such as Triple Cinnamon, Banana, and Dark Chocolate. However, the top of each cupcake features a crunchy surprise in the form of real cereal pieces. The cereal toppings are largely nostalgic flavors such as Cap'n Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, and Lucky Charms.
For those looking to get their hands on the hybrid breakfast treats, the cupcakes are only available in-stores, and not from the chain's iconic ATMs.
