Exit 9's New Shop Opens Today in NYC

We're all fans of Exit 9 here at CTTC, they always carry an abundance of cupcake merch, and their new shop (at 51 Avenue A, NYC's East Village)  is no exception.

 

Here's Lexi, showcasing the new cupcake kit (the old version may still be available, not sure).

I'm partial to the strawberries-and-cream-scented lip gloss.

 Cupcake nail file?! Sure!

 So many cupcake goodies!

Sock It To Me cupcake, robot and unicorn socks!! These would be a great gift for my favorite CakeSpy. I think they retail for $9 but are not available at the online shop, you'd have to come in to buy them.

 Stress relief? Um, I'll take a hundred please. 

 Erasers.

The newly opened shop is having all sorts of  raffles and prizes and there are plenty of cupcake-related cards and gifts; be sure to tell them Cupcakes Take the Cake sent you.

Pistachio Ramadan cupcakes and India Day and Pakistan Day cupcakes at New York's Butter Lane

New York City's Butter Lane, with locations in the East Village (Manhattan) and Park Slope (Brooklyn), recently introduced cake pops to its menu, and is going to be serving special pistachio Ramadan cupcakes, per this press release:



For the first time ever, a New York City bakery has created specialty cupcakes to welcome the Muslim holy month known as Ramadan, the thirty days each year in which Muslims all over the globe fast from sunrise to sunset. Teaming with Divanee.com, Butter Lane locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn have designed cupcakes with a half-moon crescent and star.



A dollar of each cupcake purchase will benefit the Save A Mother Foundation, an educational organization aimed at empowering women and connecting them to public health systems in India. Save A Mother’s mission is to develop health care solutions for the poor, with a focus on childcare, nutrition, immunization, and maternal mortality reduction.



“We are pleased to team up with Butter Lane to support a great foundation whose mission is to educate and empower women. That’s part of what we’re all about.” said Miral Sattar, Publisher of Divanee.com.



Customers can order a limited edition Pistachio flavored cupcake or any of the many flavors available at both Butter Lane locations. Made with fresh ingredients including real vanilla beans, pure cocoa, dark chocolate, and both French and American buttercream icing, these cupcakes are both sweet and charitable.



Ramadan-inspired cupcakes are available now through August 29th, and, as an added bonus, Butter Lane will also be selling ‘India Day Cupcakes’ and ‘Pakistan Day Cupcakes’ on Indian and Pakistani national holidays respectively, August 13th and 14th. Stop by Butter Lane or call in to order today.



Visit butterlane.com or their Facebook page for more information. And I'm not sure if I knew this and forgot or it's new, but they also ship their cupcakes to the lower 48 states! They also offer delivery in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
