Sprinkles Cupcakes giving away limited-time Black Velvet cupcakes

A stellar sight to see isn’t the only reason to be excited about the impending solar eclipse.

Sprinkles Cupcakes (50 E. Walton St. 312-573-1600) will be giving away their re-released Black Velvet cupcakes to the first 50 customers on Monday, Aug. 21.

The Black Velvet offering will be available in the store during the weekend of the eclipse, starting on Aug. 19 through Aug. 21. The cupcakes are made with Dutch black cocoa, the “deepest, darkest” chocolate cake topped with whipped chocolate ganache. Cupcakes will be available for $3.95 each in store and in Sprinkles’ Cupcake ATM.
