A food adventure that started in New York City and has moved on to Toronto, Canada, with a few stops in between. Dining out and cheap eats.

Sweet Sugar Sunshine Cupcakes on the LES
We know that food is subjective, so these are just my thoughts and feelings on what I think is the best cupcake in the city.
This is my second post on Sweet Sugar Sunshine because it's a spot that we just keep wandering by and are never disappointed. Located on Rivington street between Essex and Norfolk, Sweet Sugar Sunshine continues to deliver on value-packed cupcakes ($1.50/each) for the cupcake fanatic. On this visit, we continued our journey down cupcake alley with a Pistachio, Lemon yummy and Red Velvet dessert.
The Lemon Yummy and Pistachio offer a light cakey base topped with medium thick frosting. Subtle nutty flavors come through in the pistachio while a soft lemon tang can be tasted from the lemon yummy.
By definition, the Red Velvet is going to be a bit heavier as the cake dough contains cocoa powder. Again, topped with a vanilla icing that was not too sweet provided a nice contrast in flavors and textures to a more dense chocolaty cake.
We will continue to eat up the cupcakes at this lovely bakery. Yummy eating in NYC.
