Want some cupcakes to take the edge off your holiday shopping? Le Petite Gateau is here for you! Located on the lower level, center court, of the Staten Island Mall.
An article in the Staten Island Advance talks about the owners' decision to open the cupcake stand:
A cheerful cupcake seller stands ready to help pack one or a dozen cupcakes into equally tiny carrying cases.
Some will be sampled on the spot; others are toted away for nibbling with coffee, tea or a huge glass of ice-cold milk. Definite palate pleasers!
The "cake cart," however, shines with its stack of goodies only on weekends -- on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
IDEA SHARED BY TWO
"The idea was to make cakes from scratch, to give a quality product -- something where people will taste the difference," said Tesoriero, a long-time Eltingville resident. "Cakes that are simple, but elegant," chimed in his partner who grew up in New Dorp.
