It’s seriously been a long week. Besides the obvious transition back to normal life after a holiday, we have been sick for the past two weeks. Each day that I thought I might wake up feeling sprightlier was in a reality a day I felt more and more ill. No need to go into exhaustive [...]
I’m choosing not to do a full cupcake review on these due to extenuating circumstances. 1) We got these the night before Thanksgiving, right when the bakery was about to shut. 2) We weren’t sure how long they had been sitting in the refrigerator, as they tasted partially frozen. 3) They were unusual flavors, eggnog [...]
Two weeks ago today, we started our honeymoon in London, England. During our three days in London, luck was seemingly on our side–our sunny, warm days were filled with sightseeing and enjoying creative and memorable food. Per my college roommate’s suggestion and because each visit to their website immediately activated mouth watering and stomach growling, [...]
One Girl Cookies is one of my favorite places in all of Brooklyn and just happened to be next on my round of cupcake reviews! OGC seems to have it all: a soothing café, a dazzling array of sweets, quality coffee drinks, creative gift boxes, and transparency with their ingredients. Each time I go into [...]
When I first heard about Butch Bakery, I had to laugh. Only in New York would a tongue-in-cheek bakery designed for ‘manly men’ not only be created, but thrive to the point of a cult following! Created by David Arrick, a former attorney, Butch Bakery aims for that fine line between unique and kitschy. As [...]
Butter Lane is a relatively new cupcakery in the East Village. Their tag line is ‘Local Organic Dairy’ and they tout fresh ingredients for the ‘better cupcake’. I’ve actually been to Butter Lane twice. Sadly, the first time I was too full to get a cupcake but I did thoroughly enjoy the shop’s aroma and [...]
In my quest to try (nearly) every cupcake in the city, my latest stop was ‘Baked by Melissa’. Baked by Melissa’s original outpost is in Soho, in a window of Café Bari. Several weeks ago, Melissa opened up a stand-alone shop in the Union Square neighborhood (an in addition to the two locations, you can [...]
I finally went to try the infamous Billy’s Bakery, in Chelsea (to eat a birthday treat from my husband!) Most people know that I love cupcakes and while in D.C., I checked out every cupcakery/bakery in the area (and naturally, we had a cupcake tree at our wedding). I should be quick to point out [...]
Flour Bakery easily ranks as one of my all time favorite places. Open since 2000, I discovered this gem a year ago (a little behind the curve on that one!) on a trip to Boston. Before going, I had read a few of the wide range of reviews on Flour. The reviews were glowing, and [...]
I do most of my Food posts on Yelp (but maybe I’ll change that!)…but I have to post about Baked and Wired! It is perhaps the most wonderful spot in DC for a coffee/tea/baked good. No…not perhaps: it is. Located down by the C and O Canal in Georgetown, the space is sleek and trendy, [...]
