Ivy Bakery's New Manhattan Location Is Now Open

 Last weekend, I stopped by the brand new and beautiful Ivy Bakery which just opened at 138 West Houston Street in Soho/Village area of Manhattan. Daniellan, the owner, told me that the new place will stay open later, have a larger selection of baked goods, and will be available for private events. Also, there will be a DJ spinning tunes at night. I got a red velvet cupcake while there. There's a newbie specia l that Ivy Bakery is offering for Foursquare users. If you check-in, you a free cupcake with purchase.

Ivy Bakery will be a part of our Cupcake Crawl on Sunday, September 18 at 2PM. RSVP today.  We will be giving a prize at each stop.

Peach cobbler and lemon meringue filled cupcakes at Molly's Cupcakes = yum yum yum!

I visited the new New York version of Molly's Cupcakes (see Nichelle's post about their opening, which is one of the most spacious cupcake bakeries in New York City and has what looks like the same flavors and much of the same design (sprinkle bar, swings) as the Chicago branch. Full writeup coming soon, but I loved the peach cobbler cupcake best (on top) and also the lemon meringue! $3.75 a cupcake is high for New York, and definitely adds up, plus these are sweet and big generally, so I recommend sharing with a friend or two!













peach cobbler cupcake, with an extra closeup of all the peach cobbler goodness - this had the best elements of everything, with fresh peach on top and it was chilled and the crumbly part was my favorite!
