In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, iconic bakery Sprinkles and specialty Vietnamese coffee company Nguyen Coffee Supply have partnered to create the ultimate sweet treat—a Vietnamese Coffee Cupcake. The special collaboration is part of Sprinkles’ ongoing support of Gold House, a leading Asian Pacific change-maker organization and platform.

This is the second collaboration with Gold House to create a cupcake that shares Asian American flavors and treats across the country. Sprinkles Chief Marketing Officer Michelle Wong implemented and continues to spearhead a series of collaborations with chefs and founders to use the bakery’s national platform to uplift and celebrate diversity through food.

The Vietnamese Coffee Cupcake features delicious coffee cake and coffee frosting infused with Nguyen Coffee Supply's Loyalty Blend with single origin Arabica and Robusta coffee beans with flavor notes of smoked caramel, cacao, pomelo and almond. The cupcake center is filled with a creamy condensed milk buttercream.

Sahra Nguyen, Founder of Nguyen Coffee Supply, has enjoyed Sprinkles cupcakes since her college days and views the collab as a full-circle moment.

“There's a strong connection between the coffee and baking worlds, both as ingredients and as complementary experiences,” says Nguyen. “As our company works to bring visibility and cultural integrity to the Vietnamese coffee industry, we're thrilled for our collaboration with Sprinkles to celebrate Vietnamese coffee through an iconic cupcake brand.”

The cupcakes cost $6 each and are available at Sprinkles locations nationwide from April 17 to May 14, 2023. For more information and to purchase, visit sprinkles.com and follow on Instagram: @sprinklescupcakes @nguyencoffeesupply
