Cupcake Competition
Today at work, Melissa brought in a box of absolutely beautiful cupcakes from The Cupcake Cafe. I chose a chocolate one with a flower and leaves on top; the buttercream frosting was amazingly buttery and light, but the cake part could've been better. The batch Melissa brought in this past summer that she made from scratch, frosting and all, were much much better. I do have to admit they were stunning though, especially in a box tray of 16. I don't remember if i had cupcakes from Magnolia or Buttercup a few summers ago, but i thought those weren't that amazing either. I like the Cupcake Cafe better than whatever that batch was, but better yet i like the cupcakes at Podunk in the East Village. A$ was the first to discover this cute tea house 2 or so years ago. We used to meet up there and have tea and cake. Once we tried to have a knitting session there but we ended up talking smack instead! Anyways, back to the cupcakes: the owner charges $1 each but it could be higher now. Regardless, they are so delicious you'll get addicted if you try them! The icing is a perfect balance of smooth and sugary, the cupcake part cannot be beat. They taste better than homemade, in a buttery, moist, crumbly kind of way. Their other baked goods are top notch too, in case she runs out of cupcakes (which has sadly been known to happen)!
