The Cheap, the Best, and the Hidden.

I’m so over the cupcake craze in new York city. Oh, but wait.. what are these? Curly Cakes? Sometimes you find yourself falling into something you thought you no longer wanted. I’m really happy I fell into this, mouth wide open. Down in The Plaza Food Halllies some of the most creative and delicious cupcakes anywhere. Never before have I tasted a cupcake where the frosting and actual cake have been so well integrated tasting like one complete pastry. Not the frosting being a seemingly separate entity from the cake all together. Strawberry cheesecake and lemon meringue were the two I picked, and the two I would recommend. Lemon meringue definitely edging the strawberry. light whipped topping, with the perfect amount of lemon taste, complemented by a seemingly farm fresh blueberry filling. The strawberry cheesecake had just the right amount of cheesecakiness without tasting fake, or being too much like a mini cheesecake. Curly cakes are not only delicious, but hard to find. Based in Boston, unless you order directly from their website, you cant get them. You’re welcome New York.

Celeb chef’s daughter’s creation, found.
