42 Avenue B, East Village
Since Robicelli’s Market, famous for their cupcakes, closed down their Brooklyn storefront it seems they have been outsourcing their cupcakes to several bakeries in NYC. I caught them a couple months ago at Coyi Café in the East Village. The cafe had about 4 Robicelli cupcake options, all with fun names. I was so happy when I saw the Bea Arthur cupcake. It combined my 2 loves…cupcakes and the Golden Girls. Together they created unprecedented harmony in the world of Michy. Back to the cupcakes. The Bea Arthur was black coffee-infused chocolate cake with cheesecake buttercream, drizzled with espresso ganache. It sounds fancy but it was an average tasting cupcake. I guess it had to be simple, just like Bea's alter ego Dorothy Zbornak. I also took a bite out of my friend’s French toast cupcake which was maple custard soaked cinnamon cake with maple-vanilla buttercream and candied pecans. It wasn’t too moist but tasted better and better the more I dug into it. Although these weren't the most delicious cupcakes I've ever had, I like the creativity the bakers put into it. I hope to try more of Robicelli’s cupcakes in the future. Please open another storefront in the near future. Thanks.
peace, love, and cupcakes
