PrintSweet Melissa's Still a Sweet Spot
I hadn't gone to Sweet Melissa's in a long time when i wandered into Melissa Murphy's newest location in Park Slope. I had to have the butterscotch pudding, which still sets the standard for butterscotch pudding in this city. It's creamy, light, and refreshingly unsweet. The chocolate cookies were mighty fine, and the sour cherry clafouti is a deceptively buttery and tart delight that demands to be eaten by hand. And though most cupcakes leave me cold, Melissa's peanut butter cream chocolate cupcakes almost make me a cupcake convert. She is also a serious pie baker. In fact, Sweet Melissa's is a remarkably consistent bakery. And in a world awash in maddeningly inconsistent bakeries, that consistency is most welcome.

We ordered our wedding cake from Sweet Melissa's and many people have told me that it was, hands down, not only the best wedding cake, but the best cake, they have ever eaten. And, being the procrastinators that we are, we ordered it less than a month before our wedding!
