Anyone else ever get an intense cupcake craving in the middle of the night? Of course you do. And you should embrace it rather than suppress it. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to find cupcakes at 3 am - or, I should say, it WAS. Until now.
Now, you can have a cupcake at the touch of a button, ANY time you want. Right here in Texas.
I think we can all agree that Sprinkles is pretty amazing.
I mean, the cake is so moist, it practically melts in your mouth...

...and the frosting is so thick, decadent, and smooth as velvet.
They even have ice cream sundaes with a cupcake on top...
...and heaping scoops of ice cream in between two cupcake tops.

The only bad thing about Sprinkles? The line. These people might look happy, but inside they're silently screaming.
So what if there was a way to skip the line? A way to get all the satisfaction of a delicious cupcake with none of the grueling wait time?
Now, you can do just that. The Houston and Dallas locations have just added cupcake ATMs.
That's right - just a simple push of a button, 24 hours/day, and you can be the proud owner of a delicious cupcake dispensed right into your hands.

Have you ever been to the cupcake ATM? What's your favorite flavor from Sprinkles?

Located just southeast of Brenham, Chappell Hill is the picture of small-town Texas. From the friendly locals to the quaint businesses lining the streets of downtown, this close-knit community of around 600 immediately captures the hearts of all who visit it.
One of these charming businesses is Chappell Hill Bakery & Deli, a family-run establishment outfitted to look like an old-fashioned general store. Upon stepping inside, you'll be met with smiling faces and mouthwatering aromas coming from the kitchen.
While the bakery offers all sorts of decadent treats (if you don't believe us, just take a look at the dessert cases!), none are more famous than the fruit kolaches.
Often called the best kolaches in Texas, these authentic Czech pastries are baked fresh daily and taste just like heaven. There are many different flavors to choose from, so no matter what your favorite fruit is, you can bet it's on the menu.
The restaurant is also known for its sausage kolaches, traditionally called klobasneks. Order a few along with your fruit kolaches for the perfect balance of sweet and savory!

Other baked goods include pies and cakes, bread, cinnamon rolls, cookies, granola bars, and more. It's all so good that you'll want to bring home one of everything.
While sweets are undoubtedly the main event at Chappell Hill Bakery & Deli, the restaurant also offers a variety of main dishes. The barbecue plates are out of this world - especially the brisket.
The restaurant also serves other Texas favorites like chicken-fried steak and hamburger baskets (with all the obligatory sides, of course).

Where do you go when you're in search of the best donuts in Texas? Personally, I make it a point to seek out places with unassuming exteriors - in my opinion, they always have the best donuts! One such shop is A&H Donuts in Fort Worth. This hidden gem is known for its epic custom donut boxes, but you can stop by any day of the week to satisfy your sweet tooth.

On the outside, A&H Donuts looks like any other strip mall donut shop - but once you step inside and try the donuts for yourself, you'll see why this place is anything but ordinary.
You'll be greeted by smiling faces and the enticing sight of a glass case full of mouthwatering donuts. No matter what your favorite donut variety is, there's a good chance you'll find it here.
I tend to go for a classic glazed donut (in my opinion, a donut shop is only as good as its glazed!), but if you prefer something with a bit more pizzazz, don't worry. I must say, this s'mores donut looks crazy good.
The shop also offers special donuts for major holidays, plus custom orders for birthdays and other events.
If you're placing a custom order, you can either go with traditional round donuts decorated however you please...

...or switch it up and opt for a lettered box like this. These can spell out anything, by the way - it doesn't have to be for a birthday!
So whether you're looking to surprise someone special or honor a spontaneous craving for a frosted sprinkle donut or a massive cinnamon roll, you've come to the right place.
