WHY BREAK BREAD WHEN YOU CAN BREAK CUPCAKES?

Amy’s Bread
672 9th Ave, Hells Kitchen

Amy’s Bread is a chain bakery with lots of goodies that can make you commit carbocide. The first time I stopped here, I had a plain ol’ vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream. The second time, not much else struck my fancy so I just had a yellow cupcake with pink buttercream frosting. The cake part is light, but the frosting is a tad bit too sugary. If they toned the sugar down a couple notches, the cupcake would be a lot better. The frosting has a little bit of a crunch to it. No, it doesn’t have anything actually crunchy on it but the consistency of the frosting is more textured than creamy. (Marina, if you are reading this-here is you cue to head to Amy’s Bread!). It was an average cupcake. Nothing too memorable about it. The cupcake was only $2.50- a very fair price. Although every location of Amy’s Bread is a little bit different, I almost always feel claustrophobic when I first get inside. Once you get past the long line of squished customers, there’s usually seating available in the back. If I happened to pass by one of their many locations, I would probably make a pit stop.

peace, love, and cupcakes
