Baked by Melissa Cupcake Bakery

Make your way to any of Baked by Melissa's four Manhattan locations, and you'll be in for a big treat—baked in quarter-sized goodies.



These petite bites are quite flavorful (yet friendly on the waistline), so choosing from among the 10 options is tough. Priced at three minis for a buck each, you can sample quite a few. Try the S'mores cupcake, a moist chocolate cake with marshmallow fluff, chocolate icing and graham cracker. Or, their cookie dough-centered mini, or perhaps their red velvet cupcake, topped with cream cheese icing and red sprinkles.



Share your tasty find with friends (they ship nationwide), or buy 100 ($70) for your next event. If you need 300 cupcake minis or more, you can even create and place an order for your very own custom flavors via their website. And yes, they deliver (with 24-hour notice).

So go ahead, give into the temptation and sample a variety without the guilt of overindulging. Yum…good things do come in small packages.
