261 W 23rd St, Chelsea
I have to admit-the name of this bakery is pretty catchy. It definitely intrigued me. I wasn’t expecting this place to have cupcakes but after some research, I discovered that they do have a select amount of cupcakes. I stopped at this Chelsea shop on the way back to Penn Station one day. I ordered a dulche de leche cupcake for $2.50. So yummy. The caramel was the icing on the cupcake (literally). It was different which made it stand out even more. I had to go back and try something more basic so I had the red velvet cupcake the second time for the same price. The cake was good but the cream cheese frosting didn’t have enough sugar or butter in it…it tasted like it came right out of the package. Confectioners’ sugar is your friend. There were a few seats in the back but I wouldn’t say the place is cozy. It’s more of a “grab and go” bakery. Fortunately, Big Booty Bread Co. is so close to Penn Station that I’m sure I will be stopping by in the near future.
peace, love, and cupcakes
