For all you who are still on the cupcake train, or even those of you who may have fell off and moved onto waffles or fancy doughnuts, now is the time to get yourself that cute lil’ sweet treat.

Sprinkles Cupcakes is celebrating the fifth birthday of its cupcake ATMs by hiding $250 giftcards in select cupcake purchases, the company said in an Instagram post.

The promotion runs through the rest of the month, so sweet-toothed individuals have many chances to win Sprinkles giftcards.

According to Sprinkles’ website, the ATM idea started as a way to provide freshly baked cupcakes to anyone at anytime.

At $4 a pop, a $250 giftcard could get you like, a lot of cupcakes. They even have a new flavor for March, the Cookie Cupcake, which features a chocolate chip studded yellow cake lined with cookie crust and topped with brown sugar frosting. Talk about a sugar high.

They also have a St. Patrick’s Day flavor that consists of Belgian dark chocolate cake topped with a Baileys Irish cream cheese frosting. Top ‘o the morning, indeed.
