like everybody else, i am thoroughly enjoy
finding those neighborhood hidden spots that few people know about.
living in the prospects heights area of brooklyn has its pros & cons;
but the fact that the neighborhood is slowly transforming these types of places
start popping up little by little. by far my favorite so far is a little
bakery called lily & fig. located on franklin ave between sterling
& park, it is certainly not a destination spot. shortly after moving here
and exploring the neighborhood i passed by the shop several times before i
finally ventured in. they don’t have many items but what they do have is
about as good as anything i've tried before. i picked up a couple
cupcakes for me and my baby. plus a big chocolate chip cookie that was
still warm. they were amazing! seriously amazing! i like to think of
myself as a connoisseur of cupcakes. ok, i'm a cupcake snob. so what, sue
me. my favorites have always been billys, baked by melissa, and cupcake cafe.
sorry if this offends anyone but magnolia is my least favorite. i
was out and about today running some errands and decided to stop in on my way
home. the display case was nearly empty, and my heart sank because i was really
excited to get my baby her favorite red velvet cupcakes. i asked lily if she
was out. she told me they had just come out of the oven were cooling so she
could put the frosting on. JACKPOT!! i also grabbed a loaf of artisan bread
that me and my dog have not stopped eating since i got home. if you are
ever in this neighborhood, you must stop in.
