Because cupcake shops in NYC are very easy to find, and because the cupcakes in the city are always ginormous, Baked by Melissa mini cupcakes are always a great little treat to help satisfy my HUGE sweet tooth. I have loved Baked by Melissa cupcakes for so long, which would explain why the second Arleigh, Sara, and I spotted the shop across the street yesterday, we couldn't help but run right over.
As we walked in to the store right outside Grand Central Station, we are instantly greeted by an array of hundreds of bite sized cupcakes. There are so many wonderful flavors to choose from, and frankly, they just never get old.

The current Baked by Melissa flavor lineup includes:
-mint chocolate chip
-tie-dye
-cookies & cream
-cookie dough
-peanut butter cup
-cinnamon
-chocolate chip pancake
-peanut butter and jelly
-red velvet
-*flavor of the month* - this month: wedding cupcake!

The flavors I decided to try this time were: Tie-Dye, Cookie Dough, Chocolate Chip Pancake, S'Mores, and their flavor of the month, Wedding cupcake (white vanilla cake with bavarian cream stuffing, white vanilla icing, and white chocolate shavings).

Sara and Arleigh all too excited to start eating.

Wedding cupcake. The cake was soooooo fluffy, and it tasted super sweet.

The tie-dye cupcake…such a classic Baked by Melissa flavor.

Cupcakes being one of my favorite desserts in the world, I definitely can't complain about these! Actually…my one complain might be the fact that they're so small. I mean come on…after one bite, I just want more!


XOXO,
