Best places for cake in NYC?

Baked in Red Hook is awesome... But you need to go to Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery (Get the Bob cake and a big cup of banana pudding)

Magnolia Cupcakes in NYC--Overrated or Underrated?

Magnolias cupcakes are good. The frosting is a little odd. But good. If you want an amazing cupcake go to Sugar Sweet Sunshine on Rivington

i adore the layer cakes at formerly yura, now the corner bakery on 3rd ave and 93rd st.. the yellow cake is my favorite but they don't have it all the time. their cupcakes are lovely, too.

amy's is another good place to get a delicious slice of cake.

i think most of their stuff is yucky. i'm a big fan of the cupcakes from yura and crumbs.

Happy happy B-days!!! And what a fun idea. You are so lucky to have so many choices. I've been to NYC several times and the only one of the bakeries I'm familar with is Magnolia which I wasn't impressed with at all. These are such great suggestions for my next visit. Does Chick-a-Licious or Blue Ribbon Bakery do cakes?

Not. We had to wait in line for quite a while also and I made a big deal out of them because the person we were with from NYC was a huge devotee. I found the cake quite dry and the icing was way over the top , sharp pain the the jaw kind of sweet. I would try any of the other dozen bakeries nearby next time.
