If I had my own cupcake shop, it would have an awesome name. That goes without saying. When I say the sign for, “Hello Cupcake,” in D.C. I thought, “Hey, that’s me!” In college when I was a designer for The State News, we created a page of valentines for people to cut out and [...]

Popsicles and Cupcakes: Charlottesville

More popsicles! And by popsicles, of course I really mean ice pops. We went to the Farmer’s Market in Charlottesville on Saturday and imagine my reaction when I spotted a sign a few rows away that said, “POPSICLES.” Well, you don’t have to imagine too hard. ‘Cause I was on my way there. It was [...]

(photo/Laura Leebove) At this point, I’ve pretty much given up on the idea that Brokelyn was actually going to post pictures from their event (along with Effed in Park Slope and Brooklyn Based) Brooklyn Blogs, which was at the Bell House last week. They had a fancy camera and were taking down names and blogs [...]
Gracie’s Cupcakes

So… this is not a cupcake. And that’s because Gracie’s Cupcakes in Naples, Florida has yes, cupcakes, but also: ice cream! And that’s what we wanted. You actually wouldn’t believe all the trouble we went through to find a decent non-chain place to get ice cream. And the cupcakes looked good too: Who doesn’t love [...]

I can’t believe I am posting about cupcakes again already, but this is what happens when you live in New York and cupcakes make up a food group on their own. It’s also what happens when you meet up with five lovely ladies for dinner at Yaffa Cafe on a Friday night and decide you [...]

So yesterday I said that after brunch, Melissa and I went somewhere every New Yorker has an opinion about. And it’s true. Every New Yorker knows what Magnolia Bakery is, even if they don’t want to. Magnolia Bakery is a tiny little shop in the West Village that got crazy famous after being featured on [...]

So many good things happened this weekend. But the first I want to tell you about is my Valentine’s Day. I have no idea what I did for Valentine’s Day last year. Really. And it’s been driving me nuts, so if you did something with me that night, please let me know. Obviously whatever it [...]

There are some chains I absolutely cannot get behind. Actually, that would be most chains, so let me start over. There are some cupcakes I absolutely cannot get behind. And this one happens to be a chain. Coincidence? I think not. Crumbs Bake Shop. Perhaps the most popular cupcake stop in New York, perhaps only [...]

It’s another Wednesday Craft Day here at City Mitten! Last weekend I went to another craft fair with miss Laura Leebove. We joked that this should be our lives, going to different fairs every weekend. It’s so fun! We went to the 3rd ward in Brooklyn early Saturday morning for their Handmade Holiday Craft Fair. [...]
