Sprinkles Bakery Opens Ice Cream Shop In New York City

Sprinkles Cupcakes, the bakery that recently unveiled the 24-hour cupcake ATM in New York City, has just opened the Sprinkles Ice Cream shop on Friday, April 25th, at noon.

The ice creamery is located at 780 Lexington Avenue, right next to Sprinkles Cupcakes bakery and the cupcake ATM.

Designed by architect Andrea Lenardin Madden, the ice cream shop's interior features a modernized take on the "old fashioned scoop shop," with Thomas Jefferson's ice cream recipe inked onto the overhead rotunda.

Sprinkles Ice Cream menu currently features 22 ice cream flavors, a few of which are monthly offerings.

Between April 23rd and May 31st, Sprinkles Ice Cream locations across the country will offer Mom & Michael's Masterpiece Mix, a recipe inspired by Michael Strahan's mother. All of the proceeds from this particular flavor will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. 

Sprinkles Ice Cream first opened in Beverly Hills in 2005, and has since expanded to several other cities. The bakery even recently opened a cupcake shop in Kuwait, and reportedly has plans to open a total of 34 locations in the Middle East
