Little Cupcake Bakeshop

I ordered the fruity pebbles marshmallow treat (super sweet, of course) and a peanut butter cookie ( that was perfect). I'm not a big dessert person. Unless, it's a banana dessert. But, both were solid treats and I also felt their prices were good, as well. The store is so freaking cute too. I wish Ida taken pics :) The staff was decent. But, at least they were attentive when you got their attention. I wouldn't make a special trip. But, I def would want to try more items.

My husband and I were in NYC on his birthday this year, and I wanted to surprise him with a cake. His favorite is chocolate with chocolate frosting, so I extensively researched where to find the best one in NYC. I kept landing on Little Cupcake Bakeshop, who are famous for their Brooklyn Blackout Cake.

I called one week in advance to place the order, and was warmly assisted. I do not remember the exact price, but it was about $50 total for a customized cake that could serve 12 people. On the pickup day, the cake was already packed with care when I arrived, and they even provided candles.

The Brooklyn Blackout Cake exceeded our (already high) expectations. It was moist, with a delicate crumb, and a rich, fudgey icing. My husband said it was one of the best chocolate cakes he has ever had. Little Cupcake does not use shortening or preservatives; only high quality, mostly local ingredients, and it shows.

This LES location is adorable, with charming decor and colorful neon signs. All of the cakes in the case looked incredible! I will definitely be back.

My friend got her boyfriend the coconut cloud cake from Little cupcake bake shop recently.

I had heard great things about this cake, and he is a huge lover of coconut. The cake was topped with a marshmallow meringue frosting, coconut, angel food-like cake, and coconut custard layered between.

The cake was good, but I wouldn't call it great. The coconut custard in between was very minimal, almost as though it wasn't there. The cake itself was really nice and light, not dry, but definitely not moist. The frosting was a nice touch, I love meringue on cakes .

If you like coconut cake, this would be a good place to start. But it leaves me curious about other coconut cakes around the city.

A little bakery in a busy neighborhood with old-school diner vibes. We went on a Sunday morning and it was pretty empty. Just us and 6 staff behind the counter. They had a huge selection of cupcakes, cakes, etc. So it made it slightly difficult to pick. But I ended up picking a slice of their famous Blackout Brooklyn cake. According to food and wine, it's the best chocolate cake in the US.

best chocolate cake? I wouldn't call it that. But it's alright. Maybe a notch better than the cakes you get a grocery stores. The frosting is overly sweet and a lot for the amount of cake you get. This helped mask the fact that the cake itself was a tad dry around the edges. But for $11, this cake should have been better. On a positive note, the cake had a good dark chocolate flavor.

The seating area is fairly large and can accommodate smaller groups comfortably. But would I come back? Probably not. There are a ton of bakeries and restaurant in the neighborhood that are so much better.

I came to Little Cupcake Bakeshop for their famous Brooklyn Blackout cake. Since this cake was deemed the best chocolate cake, I needed to give it a shot.

Brooklyn Blackout - First off, this piece of cake was $10 and I wouldn't say it was anything special. It was moist, super sweet, and pretty chocolatey. However, there wasn't anything special that distinguished it from other chocolate cakes I've had.

Overall, it was a mediocre experience coming to Little Cupcake Bakeshop.

Cute little bakery we stopped in while shopping in the area. They have a ton of options, so if you have a sweet tooth like myself, you'll definitely find something to your liking. My friend and I each got a cupcake, and we also split one. I got the cookie dough, which was delicious! She got some kind of triple chocolate cupcake, which she also really enjoyed. We split the carrot cake cupcake, but neither of us really liked it. The cake itself tasted a bit too dry. I would come back though to try some of the other bakery items.

I got a red velvet cupcake from here. The cake was dry and a little crumbly. The frosting didn't have a rich cream cheese taste.

I also got the apple crumble. I was worried it would be very sweet, but it was actually pleasantly tart. I would've preferred a butterier crust.

We stopped by here on a whim, because I always have to look at cupcake shops, and boy am I glad I did. Tried a Brooklyn Blackout cupcake, and it was absolutely heavenly. Really moist and dark chocolatey, with killer frosting (and plenty of it). Wife got a mocha, which was excellent as well. The shop is really cute, and it was very pleasant to hang around while enjoying our treats, but they do ask kindly that people not linger for an excessive amount of time -- so don't think about camping out at a table and spending a whole afternoon doing work. Service was warm and friendly. Great place to go if you want to indulge yourself in something sweet!

Randomly passed by here and what a great discovery. Not so much for my diet. They say best chocolate cake out there. Got the cupcake and it didn't disappoint. Look forward to coming back for more one day. It was a Friday afternoon so not busy at all.

The dessert here are delicious and sweet. I will taste more. I love the hot apple cider before I had yelp so I need to drink it again to provide photo here. The owner is always nice and respectful to the customers if he is in the store.

Amazing cupcakes.
Good service.
Ambiance is great for a place that serves cupcake all day and most of the night.
I only wish there was one closer to me!
