About Sprinkles

In April 2005, Sprinkles Cupcakes opened “the world’s first cupcake bakery” in Beverly Hills, as reported by the Food Network, and is credited by the Los Angeles Times as “the progenitor of the haute cupcake craze.”  Founded by Candace Nelson, judge on Food Network’s hit show “Cupcake Wars,” and husband Charles, Sprinkles has inspired long lines of devoted Hollywood stars and serious epicureans alike.  Since then we’ve never stopped finding new ways of surprising and delighting our customers - we love making people happy.

Baked fresh in small batches throughout the day, Sprinkles Cupcakes are handcrafted from the finest ingredients and contain no preservatives, trans fats or artificial flavors.  With seasonal specialties like Maple bacon and Salty Caramel, our cupcake lineup features over 50 flavors.  For those with dietary restrictions, Sprinkles puts a vegan, gluten free and sugar free twist on its most popular flavor – red velvet.

Passionate innovators, in 2012, Sprinkles debuted the world’s first Cupcake ATM and continued its foray into classic American desserts with the launch of Sprinkles Ice Cream and Sprinkles Cookies.  This super premium, creamery where every treat is handcrafted to order incorporates Sprinkles best loved cupcakes into menu items like red velvet waffle cones, cupcake sundaes and cupcakes shakes.  Handmade cupcakes and ice cream all in one place – it’s a dream come true.

Sprinkles has 15 locations nationwide, a traveling Sprinklesmobile - the world’s first cupcake truck, and sells its cupcake mixes at over 250 Williams-Sonoma stores throughout the US and Canada.  Sprinkles handmade ice cream and cookies are available for delivery throughout US from sprinkles.com.

As Sprinkles grows, Candace and Charles are committed to maintaining their commitment to quality and personal service that is at the heart of Sprinkles.  Active participants in the communities we operate in, Sprinkles donates regularly to charitable causes in its local communities and abroad, having contributed over $5 million in cash and cupcakes since inception.
