When I was in New York a few weeks ago, I made a point to get a cupcake. I make a point to get a cupcake even when I'm not in New York, but my goal was to bring some of my coworkers to my favorite cupcake place in the city--Butter Lane--but it was (heartbreakingly) closed for a private party. I collected myself and we Yelped the closest, high-rated one near us.
Sugar Sweet Sunshine did not disappoint, and I wish I had one right this moment, I have to say. It's easily one of the best I've had to date, even making it onto this best of NYC list.
I got the Bob, a yellow cake with chocolate almond buttercream frosting.
*Oh, my total number of New York cupcakes is now seven. I take my cupcakes seriously.
