A Visit To Baked in Brooklyn NY

So one morning I hopped on a train and then another train and then a bus. Red Hook is a schlep from the Upper East Side where I was staying. Anyway, an hour later I found myself on Baked’s doorstep and it was an hour’s journey well invested.

Once I walked through the doors the vibe and decor of the place instantly made me feel at home.

Then I started perusing the edible goods. Sophie’s choice was about to begin. What to buy and sample? Hmmm. There were bars…

Banana Cake…

And cupcakes…

Oh and the Whoopie Pies..

After pacing back and forth a bit like a mad woman, I settled on a Brookie which was out-stand-ing. Seriously gooey and chewy and perfect.

The cakes looks so amazing I had to try a few. So I also bought a slice of Aunt Sassy’s Pistachio Surprise.

This was good but I didn’t love it. I am a white cake person and prefer it over chocolate but this didn’t rock my world.

Then I tried the Burnt Sugar Bunt.

Fabulous. Excellent caramel frosting and the cake itself was the perfect consistency.

And to top it off I added a Malted Milk cupcake to the party. The cake part had the malt flavor.

Everything I bought, after tasting I rewrapped to share with friends. However, his cupcake was so excellent, I almost ate the whole thing right there.
