Candace Nelson, the founder and former owner of Sprinkles Cupcakes, confirmed Wednesday that the company is closing all its locations across the country.

Nelson shared the news of the closing in an Instagram post: 

Today is Sprinkles’ final day. As many of you know, I started Sprinkles in 2005 with a KitchenAid mixer and a big idea. Over the years, we expanded across the country and launched the Cupcake ATM.I sold Sprinkles in 2012 and have no ownership or operational involvement in the company. Still, it’s surreal to see this chapter come to a close – and it’s not how I imagined the story would unfold.I’m deeply grateful to the fans, customers, and community who showed up, celebrated with us, and made Sprinkles part of their traditions – and to the team who made it all happen. I’ll always be proud of what we built. oday, my heart is with the Sprinkles employees

Nelson started the company in 2005, and it quickly grew a dedicated fan base with its unique flavors, on-demand “Cupcake ATMs,” and offering online ordering.   She sold the company in 2012.
