Inspired by various posts, I present: Cupcake One cake, two cake, Cupcake, Mmm-cake! Tiny chocolate lovelies Easy to bake Throw them at your grandma Throw them in a lake Take em to a concert Take em to a jail Take em to a beach With a shovel and a pail Take em to the waters edge hold em in your hand Dig a little hole and put em in the sand Wait for twenty-seven months No ifs ands or maybes Then at dawn, up from the sand Come little cupcake babies! Watch em play and frolick I can't wait to meet them But even more importantly I can't wait to eat them!

NY Mag says 'wichcraft and, interestingly, Blue Smoke. http://www.nymetro.com/nymetro/food/openings/n_10267//index.html The original "Punschkugel" used to be made by mixing a bakery's leftover desserts and smothering them in Kirsch (Cherry Schnaps) or Rum. They didn't even have FedEx back then! Yum yum.

They may not be the best cupcakes, but for sheer experience, I would say waiting for cupcakes in a cramped Magnolia, and then strolling along Bleecker (or sitting outside the Bleecker Street Playground). But since you're here for a while, try them all! Sweet Sugar Sunshine on the Lower East Side, Amy Sedaris' cupcakes at Joe...Billy's somewhere else....

So, I'm coming to NY Sunday-Thursday, and I'm all about cupcake consumption-- which is my best bet?

After reading all these articles about the great cupcake craze, I went to Billy's Bakery to score me a 'cake. Then I stood around for 10 minutes while everyone ignored me. Then I got fed up and left. So I couldn't tell you if their cupcakes are as good as reputed, since no one in there seemed to be serving the customers.

I was thinking it would have been funny to put a small camera inside the box. And though they are a little banged up, they taste awesome.

Yes, my weakly written "This side up" is no match for just getting the packages to the next place.

Funny... I was just standing outside my office watching the FedEx guy flinging boxes around with reckless abandon.
