The Bob

Through mmmCupcakes, I learned about the confectionary heaven that is Sugar Sweet Sunshine. While mmmCupcakes is really the expert on this joint with cheerful decor to match its perfect icing, I recently stopped on by when on the LES with mmmFries.

Now, it’s generally not a good idea to go to a bakery on the day before the Valentine’s celebrations begin. Especially if that bakery is doing V-day special deliveries. Despite the fact that the Sugar Sweet staff was overtaxed with cupcake creation, the service was still excellent. And I’ve never seen cupcake trays roll out (and disappear) so quickly. Sadly, though, my favorite cake – vanilla vanilla, or the sunshine – was not available. Because baking was in overtime to keep up with the sugary sweet holiday.

Sure, there were sunshine cupcakes in abundance. But if you are at Sugar Sweet Sunshine, I highly recommend getting a slice of cake. The cake is a chunk of perfectly balanced cake-and-icing goodness. Yum. And a cup of coffee. That really maximizes the experience.

Luckily, mmmCupcake’s particular fav, the Bob (vanilla cake, chocolate icing) was available. So mmmFries and I both got a slice. The last two, too! We soon feel into a pleasant sugar-induced food coma. Even at the end of the day, the Bob cake was not too dry and the icing wasn’t even crunchy (in that been sitting out too long way).

As always, Sugar Sweet Sunshine holds the key to my heart.
