The next time you have a cupcake craving look no further than Baked by Melissa. Located in Union Square, the little sweet shop is filled to the brim with mini-cupcakes in all kinds of fun flavors like tye dye and chocolate chip pancake. Don't let their little size fool you, these bite size morsels taste just like the flavors they're named after.
My friend Arlette and I stopped by the shop on a whim while we were walking around the city one Saturday. She took all of these photos while we browsed the menu. It was a tough decision, but we finally decided on Peanut Butter & Jelly, Red Velvet, Smores, Chocolate Chip Pancake and Tye Dye.
We democratically split each in half so we could both try all of the flavors, and each cupcake tasted exactly like its description.
The PB&J brought me back to my childhood, while the Chocolate Chip Pancake even had a hint of maple syrup. The Tye Dye mini was pretty much all vanilla flavored, but it was so fun to eat because of its decoration.
Beware: If you don't want walk away immediately after purchasing your cupcakes you will be in danger of eating them all and then going back for seconds, possibly even thirds.
