Want to eat sweets without the guilt? These bite-sized cupcakes will do the trick.
I have no idea how I’ve lived in New York this long without knowing about Baked By Melissa’s. The bakery, which has locations all over the city, sells these little mini cupcakes that are super moist and super good. Not to mention, they are sooo tiny. You literally just pop them in your mouth. Yummy!!!
Flavors include Red Velvet, Cookie Dough, Cookies and Cream, Tie-dye, Mint Chocolate Chip, Cinnamon, Peanut Butter Fluff, Birthday Cake, Coconut Cream and more. They also make custom cupcakes and they deliver or ship nationwide.
The pricing may be a little steep with a 3 pack of cupcakes running about $3.00, but the price comes down a bit as the quantity goes up: 6 pack of cupcakes = $5.50, 12 pack = $10.00 25 pack = $20.00, 50 pack = $40.00 and 100 cupcakes = $80.00.
They also have a 6.5 foot gumball machine that holds over 2000 cupcakes that you can rent for parties. How cute!
The shop was opened by a lady name Melissa in 2009, a year after she was fired from her job in Advertising. She now has over 10 locations in the New York City area.
When I visited NYC in April I saw a lot of her shops I wanted to try but I’m trying to eat healthier.. I wish I went ahead and tried em now because those looks yummy! I think it’s very cool how she ended up opening up her own shop after getting fired. Sometimes losing a job,etc can most def be a blessing in disguise. Not sure if you could or not but if you could get an interview so we could know more about her that would be awesome! I’m really interested because I’m an aspiring entrepreneur as well and hearing stories like yours and others really motivates me.
Gonna try these sometime this week!
Where is it located so when I go to NY next month I can try them

Sounds like being fired was the best decision she didn’t make. Kudos to Melissa. I know where I’m going next time I’m in NY.
