Last week, I visited my NYC bestie. We had both really wanted to go to Coney Island, which is in Brooklyn. So what did I do? Look up cupcakeries! Because Brooklyn is home to several. And when am I gonna be back out there? I am so lucky to have friends & family & acquaintances that go along with my crazy love of cupcakes, tagging along in 100 degree weather even when they don't really care for sweets. Thank you everyone!!!
So we found ourselves at brooklyn's Little Cupcake Bakehop. I love this place. They had everything I loved-cupcakes, regular cakes, cookies, whoopie pies, homemade ice cream, little pies, and coffee. It is my heaven. We looked at the all the cupcakes, and NYC bestie advised me to get the princess cupcake (because I happen to love Cinderella). (And all things princess.) I also chose a strawberry cupcake, because I like to choose something different and interetsing, and then a cupcake that I will definitely like.
The cupcakes were served on a real plate-love! The princess cupcake (above right) was an almond and raspberry cake. I didn't care for it, to be honest. It seemed super sweet, with a glob of raspberry jam, and I tasted no almond. Thank God I got the strawberry, because it was the BEST strawberry cupcake I have ever tasted. Ever. Biting into that cupcake transported me back in time. I was a little girl, picking strawberries from my aunt & uncle's patch. That is how fresh & delicious this cupcake was.
I just bought 2 pounds of organic strawberries, and I think I am going to have to make some cupcakes that will be as good as the one I had last week.
