i went hunting for a reasonable tailor where it wouldn't cost me $25 for an original hem and thanks to yelp, i stumbled across nelson (who i recommend with some reservations). holler if you want to hear them...but he also happens to be located down the street from this sweet little bakery (which is a nice pick-me-up after making the trek to see nelson).
after dropping off my jeans to be hemmed, this is what came home with me.bob - yellow cake with chocolate almond buttercream
pistachio - pistachio cake with "The Moose"
lemon - lemon cake with lemon buttercream
sassy red velvet - red velvet cake with chocolate almond buttercream
i loved the cake part of each cupcake...pure deliciousness - soft, tender crumb with good flavors. but the icing? ugh, the icing was HORRID. i could taste the almond extract in the chocolate buttercream and it was so pronounced that it added nothing good to the flavor at all. the lemon buttercream also had a strong metallic tang and left a not-so-pleasant aftertaste. thankfully on the other hand, "The Moose" is quite yummy...a soft whipped mess.
for $1.50 a cupcake, these are some of the cheaper cupcakes available in the city and the cafe is really cute, furnished with a random mixture of comfy vintagey-looking finds. the staff has always been courteous and helpful and while the cupcakes may not look like much, there is more than meets the eye. (just scrape off the icing or get "The Moose.")
