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!
Dylan’s Candy Bar
Having been to New York City several times, it’s surprising I didn’t make it to Dylan’s Candy Bar until this trip! I’ve heard all about it, and as a person with a strong sweet tooth I really should have visited before! It was just as adorable and imaginative as I could have hoped, with candy embedded in the floors! Every variety of candy I could think of was available and even customizable candy! We’ve all been to that souvenir rack that didn’t have our name, but here they have a “make your own” so no matter what your name you won’t be left out! From gummies of every variety to fudge this store is a candy lover’s dream!
