Sugar Sweet Sunshine, LES
Owners Peggy & Debbie, former theater actors who ran in the corporate circuit and former employees of the famed Magnolia bakery, took their love of baking and launched a full-scale operation in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Armed with dusty Betty Crocker cookbooks, quite simply, the two best friends wanted to open a cozy, comfortable shop brimming with velvet and decorative treats. Your home - only with a pantry of cupcakes. In 2002, Sugar Sweet Sunshine was born.
SSS is a kitch place with a low-key vibe. The decor borrows from the 60's & 70's with pea-green chairs, tv dinner tables and other accessories of the playful era. But the cupcakes are a pure delight. Pistachio nut, pumpkin, and rich velvet pipped with either chocolate or vanilla icing, I guarantee you will enter giddy and leave with a dizzing sugar-high. And with haute bakeries hocking tiny, bland cupcakes priced upwards of $3-$4, these darling and creatively made treats at SSS are a worthwhile steal at $1.50
