Have you ever had a really good cupcake? I mean really delicious; the kind with soft moist cake with the perfectly adequate amount of frosting for the size of the cupcake. That’s what Baked By Melissa is, with one tiny exception…all the cupcakes are BITE SIZED. Which at first my sound disappointing, but when you realize that you can try ten different delicious baby cupcakes for the calories of one typically sized cupcake any disappointment vanishes instantly! I have gotten Baked By Melissa almost every time I’m in New York City. I’ve tried most of the original flavors and I have yet to find one I don’t love. If you’re visiting New York City, make sure this pipsqueak bakery of awesome is on your to-do list!
First Time To Vermont
Burlington was such a cool city! I’d never been to Vermont before and it wasn’t hard to fall in love with the state when this city was so beautiful and artistic. I spent time right in the downtown core and then went to this adorable breakfast spot the morning after my show! One of the coolest shops I discovered was Common Deer, where almost everything they stock is made by small vendors from all over America. I definitely indulged in some sweet treats as well with Ben and Jerry’s, because they were founded right in Burlington! Have you been to Vermont? If so, what was your favorite part?
Ferrying Through Fall
I’ve been on a ferry before, but it’s always been much longer than this one! This was a short jaunt across the waterway between New York And Vermont and it was so pretty to be able to see both states from a different perspective. It was my first time to Vermont and I really loved my time there! As soon as we crossed over the lake it felt different from upstate New York, and I already felt like it was somewhere I’d like to explore, which was great because I had about 24 hours to explore the city of Burlington! I’ll tell you all about Burlington Vermont in my next post!
Falling Into New York
I started a tour in September and it was such a fun experience! We went from Toronto, through New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, and finished in New York City! My first stop was at Lyric Coffeehouse in Clayton New York. We had some time afterwards to walk around and explore the town and waterfront. I planned this tour through the Northeast at fall time to experience one of my favorite seasons while doing what I love! What are some places you’d like to visit in the fall?
