An ATM that dispenses cupcakes

If you're into cupcakes - and I know that plenty of people are - this will probably excite you. 

To be honest, if you live in America this may be old news. And I'm not sure that it will come to Australia any time soon. But a girl can dream, right? (Nay - I am gluten intolerant so personally I shall not, but in a past-life I may have) 

Making common appearances across shows such as Oprah and Dr. Phil's, 'Sprinkles', is an American bakery franchise that is famous for their cupcakes. But that is not why I am excited, nor do I think that would excite you. What is really exciting about this brand is that they have produced a cupcake ATM. That's right. You can walk up to a Sprinkles ATM and have a cupcake dispensed right into your hands. As I am personally travelling to America in a few months I am especially excited for this, and even though I cannot eat them I plan on buying many for my partner Jon.

Free San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge Vector Download: 162 days until happiness

This July I will be travelling to America. Arriving in San Francisco for Independence Day, we will then travel to Las Vegas and finish up in Los Angeles. As I've never been to America before I am looking for ideas of places to go - especially coffee wise. 

San Francisco would have to be the one I'm most excited for: I've heard great things about it and can't wait to see it for myself. I am so, so excited for it that I even managed to drag myself back onto the Adobe Creative Suite (the very name of which was making my skin crawl by the close of 2013) and onto Illustrator to create a free downloadable image as a tribute to my excitement.

Lo and behold, here is my rendition of the Golden Gate Bridge. This is my first vector drawing for 2013, and certainly provoked a sizeable amount of F words along the way. 

It's available to download in two different colour schemes from my Dropbox here. Keep visiting for more vector drawings throughout the year, and after I've been to America I will be listing the top cafe's to visit. 

Have you been to San Francisco before, or do you live there? Where would you recommend to visit, as a coffee enthusiast?
