A visit for New York would not be complete for us without a trip (or two) to Two Little Red Hens, our favorite New York bakery. This tiny little bakery on the Upper East Side is a bit of a refreshing break from super-sized New York City; its extremely quaint, with redbrick walls and paintings of chickens everywhere. They make a delicious range of homemade baked goods, but the main reason we love it here is their mini cupcakes, which are the perfect little treat (although we rarely stop at just one!).
Their carrot cake and red velvet are fantastic, although we have two personal favourites...
As self-confessed chocolate and peanut butter fanatics, the Peanut Butter Swirl cupcake is a such a delight. A light, moist chocolate-y cake topped with a peanut butter icing and filled with even more icing. Yum!
We also love the Brooklyn Blackout, a real New York cupcake. It consists of an extremely moist chocolate cake, topped with chocolate ganache and (the best bit)... filled with chocolate pudding. It's definitely one we are going to try and recreate at home!
Sadly, we only get to experience Two Little Red Hens a few times a year when we're visiting New York. We're yet to find a bakery that measures up to it in London... so make sure you check it out if you're in the area!
Love,
Samara and Anna
