Everyone knows how I feel about cupcakes (they are my fourth love, after the color pink, men, and even better, men who wear the color pink).
CakelabNYC (um, could they have thought of a cuter name?? No. No, they could not have.) is the newest cupcake shoppe on the block. Based in Manhattan, veteran baker Grace Hiura (a NonSociety reader!) creates these mini-cakes with love and lot of artistry. Yes, artistry! In my opinion, pastry chefs are really just artists working with batter & frosting instead of canvas and paints. :)
They’re the perfect little cupcakes for a party, because, like all great sugary fingerfood, you can pop them in your mouth with little or no mess. (Randi & I had cupcakes this size at the NY portion of our Bi-Coastal Birthday Bash earlier this year and they were gone within minutes, I swear.)
Check out Grace’s delectable photos of ‘cakes here, or her blog here, and finally, order some to try out for yourself here!
**PS. I’m trying to convince Miss Grace to come up with a Gluten free recipe … she’s promised to see what she can do! Until then, have a cupcake on my behalf. :)
