My lovely boyfriend, being the epitome of thoughtfulness, stopped by Cake Love at the Tyson's Corner Mall in VA and got six little treats for our Valentine's Day weekend (Feb. 19th). I don't even remember all the different ones he got, but I distinctly remember a raspberry lemonade one that was so fresh and light that it melted in my mouth and left me satisfied.
Then, it was time for extravagance and excess that is Fat Tuesday. I did not partake in the gestational festivities, but I decided that I should give up for Lent I should give up cupcakes. Yes, until Easter I will not be taste testing any of the delicious little frosting topped treats.
However, I have been scoping out the true cupcake scene in NYC and it doesn't exist near Time Square (as we learned last Fall). Chelsea and the West Village is where it's at! Magnolia Bakery, Crumbs, and two places in Chelsea Market named Elenis (http://elenis.com/store/category/shop-by-occasion/just-because/cupcakes-just-because/) and Amy's Bread.
