LAKE BUENA VISTA Disney Springs is about to get a whole lot sweeter this Sunday.

Sprinkles — touted as the world’s first cupcake bakery by Food Network — will open May 15 at the popular shopping destination at Walt Disney World Resort. The bakery features fresh cupcakes and cookies, as well as ice cream, milkshakes and other treats. The Disney Springs location will be the company’s 20th nationwide and its second in Florida (Sprinkles also opened recently in Tampa).

The new shop will add about 70 jobs to the West Orange economy.

“Disney Springs was a natural fit for us when deciding where in Orlando to open our doors,” said Candace Nelson, founder of Sprinkles and judge on Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars.”

A unique aspect to Sprinkles is its Cupcake ATM, which enables customers to purchase cupcakes when the bakery is closed. The Cupcake ATM can hold up to 400 cupcakes at a time and is restocked throughout the day. It also will carry dog-friendly cupcakes.

Sprinkles will be open daily from 10 a.m. to midnight. The Cupcake ATM will operate daily from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. Delivery will also be available within a 100-mile radius via online and phone ordering.

Nelson opened the first Sprinkles location in Beverly Hills, California. For more information, visit sprinkles.com.
