This photo perfectly expresses how I feel when I get a cupcake

How can you not love this photo of a little girl doing a happy dance after getting a cupcake from the first (and so far, only) Sprinkles Cupcakes' Cupcake ATM in Beverly Hills? It's part of a contest they're hosting on their Facebook page: post a photo of you at the Cupcake ATM by May 31, 2012, at 11:59 PST and you could win 5 dozen cupcakes! The Cupcake ATM is located at 9635 South Santa Monica Boulevard, next to the first Sprinkles bakery as well as the new Sprinkles Ice Cream (this is the year of cupcakes and ice cream, and we'll have more on their convergence soon). I hope the New York City Cupcake ATM gets here sooner rather than later. Also, the ATM now sells pupcakes, as evidenced below, though I am pretty sure a dog wouldn't know how to operate the ATM (via @cupcakeatm on Twitter).
