Tiny Cupcakes on Spring Street

-Media Card-BlackBerry-pictures-IMG00103-20091104-1550
On Spring Street between Mercer and Broadway, north side of the street, is a tiny store front that sells tiny cupcakes.  They are almost like the cupcake tops without the bottoms about the size of a quarter.  Baked by Melissa

There are eight flavors.  Mint chocolate chip, tie-dye, cookies 'n cream, cookie dough, peanut butter cup, peanut butter and jelly, cinnamon and sm'ores.  I believe the cost was $1 for 3.  You truly can't beat it. 

We had the peanut butter cup, cinnamon and sm'ores.  Each packs a powerful punch and are really rich.  All you need is that one bite and your sweet craving is cured. 

Clever idea, great product.  You can buy them in bulk for parties too.

books of the moment

  • Carolyn Slaughter: Before the Knife

    Carolyn Slaughter: Before the Knife
    Wow. Growing up in Africa when the British ruled. Raped at 6 and then repeatedly by her father for years which she kept suppressed for decades. Thank god these things are not so easily swept under the carpet anymore. Incredible story.

  • Mitch Albom: Have a Little Faith: A True Story

    Mitch Albom: Have a Little Faith: A True Story
    Loved it. An intellectual question of faith of Albom's relationship with a rabbi and a priest. A must read.

  • J. M. Coetzee: Disgrace: A Novel

    J. M. Coetzee: Disgrace: A Novel
    Second book I have read of Coetzee and I need to read more as each has left me thinking about the book for quite a while. Follows a 52 year old professor, a womanizer who is asked to leave the University after an affair with a student. He takes refuge with his daughter in the outback. The book is dark, layered and tragic. Coetzee is an incredible writer. I think of him as an Australian Philip Roth.

  • Heather Gudenkauf: The Weight of Silence

    Heather Gudenkauf: The Weight of Silence
    Start early because it will hard to put down. 2 - 7 year old girls are missing and mystery unfolds. Each chapter is the voice of a different character which moves you quickly through the story, and of course seeing all sides. Clever, first novel, quick read, well done. Lots to discuss. Could be a great book read, especially for women.

  • Simon Mawer: The Glass Room

    Simon Mawer: The Glass Room
    Man Booker Prize runner-up. Centered around the Landauer house, a Glass house way before its time prior to WWII. We follow this financially successful family, who were leaders in their community pre/post the war as they had to leave Europe. Interesting story but I found myself forcing to finish the book not so much enjoying the journey to get there.

  • Rhoda Janzen: Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home

    Rhoda Janzen: Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home
    Memoir of a women returning home to her roots after her husband leaves her for another guy. Laugh out loud at times, a little long winded at others. Honest reflection of how she got to where she did.

  • Gail Collins: When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present

    Gail Collins: When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present
    Finally finished. LOVED. Thought provoking, well researched, all generations should read.

  • Philip Roth: The Humbling

    Philip Roth: The Humbling
    I am a huge fan of Roth. Whether you like his topics or not, he is such an incredible writer. The Humbling is really a short story about an actor in his 60's frustrated by his inability to perform. Interesting and haunting. If you like Roth, read the book.

  • Jeannette Walls: Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel

    Jeannette Walls: Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel
    After the success of The Glass Castle, which I loved I felt compelled to read this book. Written in first person as Wall's grandmother by learning countless stories from her mother. Her grandma's life. Certainly interesting and historical in some sense but just not that deep. Read Angle of Repose by Stegner for a real literary piece on Grandparents.

  • Allen Jones: The Rat That Got Away: A Bronx Memoir

    Allen Jones: The Rat That Got Away: A Bronx Memoir
    Fantastic memoir about getting out of the Bronx, alive. A must read.

    Michelle Huneven: Blame: A Novel
    Page turner. Young professor, alcoholic, wakes up after a black out to find she murdered someone while drunk. Her life and her recovery. Quite a novel.

    Jonathan Tropper: This Is Where I Leave You
    Loved it. Laugh out loud hilarious. Family angst at its best.

    First novel for all women out there. Really well done.

    Mark Oliver Everett: Things the Grandchildren Should Know
    If you love the Eels, a must read. Best music autobiography I have read.

  • Cathy Marie Buchanan: The Day the Falls Stood Still

    Cathy Marie Buchanan: The Day the Falls Stood Still
    Was sent the book from a publisher. I tried, I really did. Just not that engaging. Love story set around Niagara Falls around WWI. The language just didn't pull me at me. I bailed half way in.
