BAKED WITH LOVE

Baked by Melissa
529 Broadway, Soho
7 E 14th St, Union Square






I have to say this place has the smallest locations AND the smallest cupcakes. Melissa sells her cupcakes for $1 a pop. The cupcakes themselves are only about the size of a quarter. During my first visit to their popup location in Soho, I ordered 4 cupcakes for my friend and me. The next time I decided to visit their new storefront location in Union Square. Between both locations, I’ve had the following cupcakes: red velvet, peanut buttercup, cookies and cream, and peanut butter and jelly. While every flavor is equally delicious, they are very overpriced. A buck or two more and you can get a substantially sized cupcake of your choice. For some reason, there is a huge TV in their storefront location displaying their menu. This is kind of silly being that their menu isn’t that extensive and doesn’t really change daily. Despite the price, the cupcakes are good for automatic portion control or if you want to have a variety of cupcakes in one sitting. They taste almost impeccable.  As a fellow cupcake enthusiast, I can see Melissa really knows her cupcakes.

Peace, love, and cupcakes
