Oreo Cupcakes

I baked again this afternoon to pass the time. Another flavour I was keen to ‘conquer’ was Oreo Cupcakes because I love cookies and cream.

Guess What I Baked Today?

Its a cupcake and it is red…. Red Velvet Cupcakes with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting!

Warning. Many photos of my little creation after the jump.

2 Little Red Hens

I hiked all the way from Greenwich Village to 86th Street 2nd Avenue to try 2 Little Red Hen’s famous Brooklyn Blackout Cupcake. This was the ultimate chocolate cupcake that had chocolate icing on it and chocolate pudding in the middle.

This cupcake was all chocolate and nothing else. The pudding did nothing for me as [...]

Sweet Farm

I was walking around sunny Williamsburg, Brooklyn, when I spotted Sweet Farm located on Bedford Street.

Walking in I saw they had a wide variety of cupcakes with the most elaborate and generous amounts of icing I have ever seen; which only added more to my excitement. I was also delighted to find a Vanilla Oreo [...]

Kyotofu

Kyotofu was recommended by NYmag as having the best cupcake in New York. I of course was so excited and went up to the little cafe on a Monday but they were closed. Which annoyed me because I had walked more than 50 blocks. The next day I went back and nearly screamed out when [...]

Billy’s Bakery.

Billy’s Bakery appeared on Martha Stewart so I had high hopes but was more than disappointed. For one thing, I did not quite get what I was eating. The cupcake this thick and was like a moist version of a muffin. In fact I actually thought it tasted like a cupcake I would make (which [...]

Sugar Sweet Sunshine.

Sugar Sweet Sunshine has, hands down, the best cupcakes I have tried. Mind you, I have tried 18, so I think I know a little more than an average person on what constitutes a good cupcake. I love their Spicy Pumpkin and Pistachio cupcakes the most. Their little bakery has this homely feeling too and [...]

BabyCakes

One of the many cupcake bakeries I had planned to visiting before coming is BabyCakes. BabyCakes prides itself as being “all natural, organic and delicious alternatives free from the common allergens: wheat, gluten, dairy, casein and eggs”. I tried both their Vanilla and Chocolate cupcakes. Their cupcakes were also recommended by NYMag.

Magnolia Bakery

Hi everyone the past week I have been in New York City eating up a storm. I have about 500+ photos I took of food alone during the trip and well excited to post them all up.
I also thought the first post of my gastronomy experience in New York City would have to be the [...]

Pink Sweetheart

I made Chocolate Cupcakes with a Raspberry frosting yesterday. Best of all, they were low carbohydrates! These were different from the muffins I made earlier as they required a lot more whisking, fluffing and messiness. Still they turned out to be ok. My housemate, J, liked it though she said the frostings reminded her [...]
