Dueling deliciousness.

I popped in to Buttercup Bake Shop yesterday for the first time. I recently read that article in New York Magazine about the lawsuit that Jennifer Appel is bringing on The Little Cupcake Bakeshop in Bay Ridge and about her breaking off from Magnolia years ago and I figured that it was time to try her cupcakes. Surprisingly I liked it more that Magnolia's. I tried the chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting. It was perfect, with none of the burning in my throat that a Magnolia Bakery cupcake will induce. It wasn't too big either, so I didn't feel sick when I was done. I highly suggest that if you're ever on 52nd and 2nd that you try one too.
