My two cents to add on to Nichelle's about Brown Betty Dessert Boutique yesterday in Philadelphia (on North 2nd in the Northern Liberties area), but here are a few of my photos. See more in this Flickr set. They are poised to open their 3rd location soon. The atmosphere was lovely and for $3 each we got large, not too sweet, tasty cupcakes with a good (but not overdone) amount of frosting. I was partial to the chocolate peanut butter and marble ones but they were all delicious, and I especially like that they have sweet potato cupcakes, a flavor that, to my knowledge, New York City is lacking. Their sour cream pound cake was wonderful, and I especially appreciated that they had samples out, something you don't see too often in the cupcake world.
