I would like to think I have my fingers on the pulse of the cupcake world...at least in New York. At least, you know, where I live, which happens to be in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. But I guess I don't because I am just now hearing about Cupcakeland in my very own hood. I was just saying the other day that ever since Cheeks closed Wiliamsburg doesn't seem to have many cupcake options. Must. Try. Soon. Will report by the weekend!
I discovered them via a piece in The Brooklyn Paper:
“I think that cupcakes are replacing the traditional cake. Why not have your own little cake? It’s more convenient,” said Cupcakeland owner Kate Lech (the “eater” to co-owner Alex Wysoczanska’s “baker”).
Lech assures us that their little bakery will have no trouble beating out the competition, with sweet varieties like apple pie and lemon-raspberry, plus a lighter than usual cake.
“You can eat half a Magnolia cupcake and you’re full,” said Lech, “but you can eat five of ours.”

Apple

Mocha
