No conversation about New York sweets is complete without cupcakes. The pretty little frosting-topped rounds ignited a worldwide obsession that still burns today, years after Magnolia Bakery appeared in an episode of Sex and The City (widely agreed to be ground zero for the epidemic).
Before my trip I didn’t really see the fuss (sorry cupcake lovers), but boy did I meet some compelling varieties at Molly’s Cupcakes and Sweet Revenge: rustic, inventive and bursting with flavour. Magnolia’s famous red velvet is up there with them, too.
Likewise, these cupcakes will enchant every type of sweet tooth with their dreamy mix of vanilla almond cake, peach curd core and crème fraîche whipped cream topping. They’re soft, light, buttery and delectable, and taste just like summer.
