I accidentally found out about City Cakes NY. I was doing a search for cake makers online and poof, there it was. They had beautiful cakes and I decided I had to see for myself if they were as scrumptious looking in person as online.
I almost couldn’t find them. They’re in the basement of a building on 18th street. But even if you walked past them, you’d smell the cookies and cupcakes baking and turn right around! The first time I went there, I bought 4 cupcakes. The next time, I bought 6. After that, I bought 12.
After I had eaten my fill of their cupcakes I tried their cookies. I was not aware that their cookies were ACTUALLY half of a pound. Imagine all of the buttery goodness inside those delicious cookies.
They come in four varieties: chocolate chip, triple chocolate spice, hearty oatmeal raisin, and my personal favorite, reese’s pieces peanut butter.
They’re enormous and you’d expect them to be hard and crunchy but they’re not. Deliciously soft and moist, these cookies are making me daydream.
So, my advice is, go for a cupcake (or six) and while you’re there, pick up a cookie (or four.) Make sure you have a friend close by because these monsters are hard to eat on your own!
Okay, even I can’t convince myself to be blind to the facts. Chocolate’s only good good for you when it’s like above 60% cacao. And even then you’re supposed to do some exercise during the day because of all the sugar in it. But it does contain valuable antioxidants, and those are in fruits and stuff. So you don’t have to feel completely guilty when you gorge yourself like a chocolate blogger.
