OMG YOU GUYZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

So yesterday my coworkers decided to do a blind taste test of 8 different chocolate and vanilla cupcakes around Midtown, and I thought it would be cool to share the results.

Quick side note – apparently today is mimosa day at the office??

Not complaining…

OK BACK TO CUPCAKES!

But first let me be honest:

I’m hesitant to do this post. A blogger writing about cupcakes??? It’s like a meme all on it’s own.  Like the new Imma Let You Finish.

What was once an easy dessert for your mom to whip up while she yelled at you because you forgot to tell her you volunteered for the 3rd grade pot luck until you were in the car on the way to school that morning (this totally never happened to me btw), now has it’s own Instagram.

Like a rainbow for gays, or star of David for Jews, if bloggers had a flag, it would have a cupcake on it.

I don’t get the hype. But some people do. So to all you cupcake-hype searching, Chanel purse toting, pointy shoe wearing, lovers of kittens and searchers of anything tiny, DIY and cute, this post is for you.

I give you……

THE FIRST INSTALLATION OF NOM NOT NOM – CUPCAKE EDITION

* Total Best Bakery Possible Score 280/280 pts or 100%
* Total Best Cupcake Possible Score 140/140 pts or 100%

I don’t really understand the scoring above…like at all. If you get it, more power to you. Whatever. Just TRUST and know my coworkers are cupcake snobs and you should listen to their blind un-opinionated opinions.

AND THE WINNER IS……………..

BAKED BY MELISSA

Wow. Don’t you feel better about your life now that you know where you can get the best cupcakes in NYC? I certainly don’t.
