Sweet Revenge

When life hands you lemons... look for something sweeter around the corner.

Maybe on Cornelia and Bedford.

Maybe in the shape of a cupcake.


On days like today, when there are zero job postings and nothing even minutely hope-inducing, I am so grateful that the lovely Marlo has brought cupcakes to the village. But what about Magnolia, you ask? Magnolia is over-rated. Let's forget Magnolia exists. Please.

Sweet Revenge doesn't have lines of tourists out its door. It just opened this past week, and I'm already a dedicated fan. The cupcakes are quite good--though perhaps a tiny bit on the dry side--and come wrapped in artfully folded parchment paper. It's an adult twist, as is the Mayan cinnamon mixed into the chocolate cupcakes and the raspberry swirl in the red velvet. And let's not forget about the icing--a perfect texture and dolloped in hearty doses, they're even serving it on its own in the form of "icing shots." How clever is that??

But the real adult twist is at the bar. That's right. The bar. Sweet Revenge is featuring awesome wine and beer cocktails, like their vino granita made with white wine, mango puree, and shaved ice.


Annnnd, I'm hungry again. Darn.
