As far as cupcakes go, I’ve gotten over it. Like many women, cupcakes for me were the indulgent treat of choice, but lately I can actually say that I’m not that into them anymore, except for when female friends come to visit. Last week, I had two friends in town and went to two different cupcake places – Baked by Melissa (which I wrote about in a previous post) and Sugar Sweet Sunshine. Located in the Lower East Side, this neighborhood cafe and bakery is indeed a little ray of sunshine. For a $1.50, I had a red velvet cupcake with vanilla butter cream frosting. Even though I was bummed that the frosting wasn’t the sweetened cream cheese that make red velvet cupcakes so tasty, it was still delicious. The frosting was light and not too sweet while the cake part of the cupcake was moist and fluffy.
