I know it's not what you were originally looking for, but thought I'd throw it out as an option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1600723 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 21:20:53 +0000 SweetiePie 1600723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't see their site right now because it's flash and on my iPhone, but this place is awesome:<br /> <a href="http://www.spotdessertbar.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.spotdessertbar.com</a></p> <p>They do Asian flavors and the entire staff (and most of the clientele) are Asian, but it's also very modern. I had the Thai coffee cupcake and oh. My. Goodness. I believe they have green tea and other flavors like that too. </p> <p>Have fun searching :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1600589 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 19:51:57 +0000 regberadaisy 1600589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmbknyc: would you mind wall-ing me their pricing? They look fab but also looks $?! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1599451 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 12:17:37 +0000 yerpie110 1599451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: you're welcome! I hope it works out with whoever you end up choosing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1599423 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 12:08:54 +0000 regberadaisy 1599423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yerpie110: Thanks! That's exactly what I'm looking for. Someone individual that does this on the side and able to take a large order. her work is beautiful as well! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1599135 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 10:50:22 +0000 yerpie110 1599135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of a friend has her own baking company that specializes in Asian inspired baked goods. I've been to a shower and took home a favor that she made and it was delicious! She seems reasonable priced as well, so a less famous option, but perhaps she'd be willing to negotiate more? Her website is:</p> <p><a href="http://www.filledwithsweets.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.filledwithsweets.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598933 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 09:50:01 +0000 cmbknyc 1598933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I highly recommend Nine Cakes, Betsy did my wedding cakes for me and found her to be reasonably priced, incredibly talented and DELICIOUS!!! I know she does some green tea flavored stuff and I'm sure she would be willing to try other flavors, as well. I second Georgetown Cupcakes, hands down my fave cupcake place in terms of flavor and texture etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598834 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 09:16:51 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1598834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here are some of may favorites:</p> <p>-Brooklyn Cupcake (lots of good Latin flavors that I happen to like)<br /> -Robicelli's (they have their own place in Bay Ridge; may have green tea/Asian flavors. they have a lot of out of the box flavors that you can order)<br /> -Georgetown Cupcake<br /> -Two Little Red Hens (these are large but good and perhaps a little expensive<br /> -Sweet &amp; Shiny </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598648 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:33:52 +0000 snowjewelz 1598648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I walled you! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598638 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:30:13 +0000 meredithNYC 1598638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My fave is Butter Lane in the East Village. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598616 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:20:56 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1598616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my only personal recommendations are crumbs, sprinkles and baked by melissa. But they are all wildly expensive.</p> <p>Yelp has this place which gets rated well: <a href="http://m.yelp.com/biz/dollhouse-cupcakes-nyc-new-york-2" rel="nofollow">http://m.yelp.com/biz/dollhouse-cupcakes-nyc-new-york-2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598610 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:18:02 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1598610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do it, if I lived closer! I mean...any excuse to bake cupcakes and visit NYC, right?</p> <p>I'll second the vote for Sprinkles. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598581 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:05:24 +0000 Trailmix 1598581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cupcake of choice is Magnolia but they're cliched, expensive and don't do the flavors you want so not sure how helpful that is... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598551 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 07:52:26 +0000 regberadaisy 1598551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hotchildinthecity: Yeah, they're that much if not more here! Cupcakes are expensive to begin with! Hoping to find like a one wo/man team who might be cheaper. ;)</p> <p>@Anagram: Thanks! I'll check it out.</p> <p>Party will likely be in Chinatown; but they'll have to deliver. If they're cheap enough and reasonably along the way for us we'll pick up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598546 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 07:48:01 +0000 Anagram 1598546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Not sure what neighborhood you are looking for, but in Forest hills, there's this place that has good reviews and cupcakes in flavors like yuzu, green tea, and black sesame. No prices though--looks like you have to contact them, <a href="http://www.yelp.com/menu/silk-cakes-forest-hills" rel="nofollow">http://www.yelp.com/menu/silk-cakes-forest-hills</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598541 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 07:44:00 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1598541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are you thinking budget-wise? Cupcakes in NYC are typically around $3/each, probably more for custom. We looked into them for my bday last year and it was just completely unaffordable. We ended up going with cake pops.</p> <p>Are you driving into manhattan, or a borough? You might be able to get a better deal in flushing, the chinatown in queens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598537 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 07:39:50 +0000 hilsy85 1598537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I"m sure they're expensive but sprinkles cupcakes are the bomb diggety!!! And they can do any flavor. </p> <p>I would recommend the woman I used for my wedding but she was kind of flaky (although the cake itself was really good and I remember her bringing a green tea flavor with earl gray frosting for us to try...). If you're willing to overlook flakiness I can give her info! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-bees-cupcakes#post-1598530 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 07:32:15 +0000 regberadaisy 1598530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We (my aunts, uncles &amp; brothers) are throwing my grandmother a big 99th birthday celebration on July 4th weekend. I know my brothers won't let DH &amp; I contribute financially. So I thought bringing cupcakes with some kind of 99 art will be fun.</p> <p>Looking for someone good but inexpensive. Bonus if they have experience with creating "Asian" flavors like green tea or red bean cupcakes.</p> <p>Please only recommend someone you have personally tasted their cupcakes or used for a party/wedding.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>P.S. There will be 100+ guests so no, I'm not going to bake 100 cupcakes while 8 months pregnant and travel 7 hours in the car with it. :P </p>
