Remember the TV show, "The Six Million Dollar Man"??! Well, I just wrote about the $6 dollar Sticky Toffee Cupcake at Charbonnel Et Walker on NewYorkology.
Here's a bit:
Charbonnel et Walker is a legendary British chocolatier founded in 1875, and they came stateside three years ago and set up a lovely cafe in Saks Fifth Avenue. Though tempted to try a pink champagne truffle, when I saw the Sticky Toffee Cupcake on the menu, I could not resist.
I was amazed. The chocolate cake is rich and infused with dark chocolate sauce. There is no buttercream frosting, but a yummy hot toffee sauce more than made up for it. It was so good that I considered licking the plate. (I didn't.) The service at the cafe is excellent and if you sit at the counter, you can see the conveyor belt of confections rotate around like a candy factory.
It's also linked on Grub Street.

But the $6 thing isn't a big deal for me [I wish I could try that cupcake, but I don't live anywhere near there]. I mean, I've charged up to $5 a cupcake before.
