sugar Sweet sunshine

Since 2003 the company has been providing Retail Bakeries.

Save Money: Buying a birthday cake? Sprinkles and candy decorations are free, and the bakers will gladly add an inscription to your cake for $2.

The Extras: Another Magnolia alum strikes out on his own.

Prepared with "love", the "awesome", "homemade-iest" cupcakes at this LES bakery are worth "daydreaming" over given their "moist, flavorful" base and "wonderful" icing "reminiscent of childhood birthdays", and there are also full-size cakes, cookies, bars and "to-die-for banana pudding"; factor in "cheap" prices that make for an affordable "fix", and this contender "simply outshines the rest"...

One the Lower East Side's favorite spots, this little bakery from Peg & Deb (former Magnolia and Buttercup employees) has cupcakes out the wazoo with an accent on flavor that seems almost F. L. Wright in nature.

The brainchild of two former Magnolia Bakery employees, Sugar Sweet's cupcakes are far superior; try the chocolate-almond Gooey Gooey, or the cream cheese frosting-topped pumpkin flavor. The real showstopper? Swoon-inducing banana pudding incorporating slices of ripe fruit and crumbled Nilla wafers suspended in decadent vanilla pudding. Cupcakes are the perfect on-the-go treat but if you prefer...

The student becomes the master: actress pals and renegade Magnolia employees whip up cupcakes that blow away the original's. Homey spot decked in thrift store furniture makes for comfy hang, except for peak hour crush of sugar mamas drooling over cream cheese-iced gingerbread cupcakes. Carb- and sugar-loading never had it so good.

Full line of baked goods from cupcakes, cakes, brownies, cookies, pies & puddings. Feel good desserts like mom use to make. Serving up coffee, espresso and loose teas. Warm muffins & buns in the morning. A place to sit and enjoy your wares.
