Hard work truly pays off, but in this case it pays off with Sprinkles cupcakes.

Every Tuesday during the month of September, Sprinkles wants to reward all the hardworking students of Arizona by giving them a free cupcake. When you buy a cupcake, get another one free when you show Sprinkles a test or paper with a letter ‘A’ grade on it! Available every Tuesday during the month of September.

Last year, 4,100 students received a free cupcake with ‘A’ scores! Bragging is 100 percent allowed and highly encouraged.

In addition, you can skip the trick-or-treating this Halloween and head to Sprinkles Cupcakes.  Sprinkles BOO box features three of Sprinkles most popular flavors — vanilla milk chocolate, black and white, and red velvet – plus, limited edition caramel apple cupcakes. Each dozen box includes all four flavors, decorated with ghoulish orange ghosts and BOO decorations, and sealed with a spooky ‘BOO’ sticker.  Available from October 1 to 31, ghosts, goblins and monsters of all ages will have a hard time turning down Sprinkles Halloween BOO box!

A riff on the candy apple, Sprinkles caramel apple cupcake is a Granny Smith-studded spiced apple cake topped with buttery caramel cream cheese frosting.  “Forget the candy or the costumes,” says executive pastry chef and co-owner Candace Nelson, “caramel apples have always been my favorite thing about Halloween, so I was inspired to create a cupcake version of the popular treat.”

Also, Sprinkles will have the Pumpkin cupcake. The flavor of pumpkin conjures up memories of crisp autumn nights and holiday gatherings with friends and family. At Sprinkles, it’s a taste that never goes out of season. The pumpkin cake is laced with fragrant ginger, clove, nutmeg and cinnamon. Topped with sweet cinnamon cream cheese frosting, Sprinkles Pumpkin cupcakes are sure to spice up any occasion! The Pumpkin cupcakes are available from September 1 to November 30.

Sprinkles is located at 4501 N. Scottsdale Road on the northeast corner of Scottsdale and Camelback road, across from Scottsdale Fashion Square. For more information about Sprinkles or to place an order, visit www.sprinkles.com or call (480) 970-4321.
