Billy's Bakery on 9th avenue is less crowded and much better IMO--but decent cupcakes are everywhere right now. I go to Billy's for the cake and the banana pudding. yum.
Buttercup Bake Shop (used to be on 72nd, now they're on 2nd Ave. in the 50s) has great cupcakes--I really like their lemon, it tastes as though it has actual lemon juice in the frosting which cuts through the sugariness. I haven't been there in a while though (just found out they'd moved). There's a Magnolia in the building where I work, and now I'm hungry for banana pudding!
Anyway, I tried it for the first time, it was actually good. Right below the frosting layer theres a crisp thin layer. Its an above average cupcake. I thought this was going to be terrible based on common reviews. I think the worst cupcake I've had was at Crumbs.
The cupcakes are addictive but the price is mentally insane. I think it's pushing 4 bucks or something PER cupcake. Not buying at those prices, not even one

This reminds me of the "Kyoto-fu" muffins I saw at Whole Foods this past weekend. My gf wanted to try it but after I saw the price tag I told her, "oh hell no you put that **** down, I ain't got money for that!" It was about 4 or 5 dollars for ONE. I go to Costco and I can get 12 for 6 dollars and they're fresh out of the oven!
Magnolia's OK but I prefer Zaro's and Junior's personally.
