We were at BabyCakes for mini-mini doughnuts last week, and we're back today, this time for Earl Grey Cupcakes. This was my very first time spotting these cupcakes at the Lower East Side bakery and it turns out they don't make this flavor very often. So call ahead to check before going. And if they're available, put them on your must-eat list; you'll be rewarded with a bergamot-scented cake and matching frosting. Earl grey-flavored sweets are quite common nowadays, but this is my first encounter with an earl grey cupcake! The tea leaves are ground very finely and whipped into the frosting, delicate and light. For those concerned, these dairy, egg, and soy-free cupcakes are sweetened with agave.
