Eleni's NY

Posted by pece at 7:41 AM

On Saturday I thought I'd do a little cupcake hunting for you.

Only research of course!
I called Eleni's in the Chelsea Market to see if they had mini cupcakes - rather hard to find in cupcake-leaden New York City believe it or not? And they had them! YAY!
And in 2 flavors and with 4 kinds of icing! YAY!
Eleni's is 2 doors in on your left at 75 Ninth Avenue (in the Chelsea Market)
New York, NY 10011
Let's go in!

The first thing to knock your socks off is this upside down Xmas tree completely decorated with heart-shaped cookies! WOWZA!

A closeup is essential.

And under the Vallentine tree - tons of CUPCAKES!

A little back story is required here -

While living in NYC, Eleni Gianopulos operated a small business baking trays of her mom's oatmeal recipe and selling them out of her apartment.

But New Yorkers wanted more.
Doesn't that say it all.
We New Yorkers always want more!
We demand it!
And we usually get it too :)

I really HEART these gingerbread men...

LOOK! BLUE CUPCAKES!
Who dares to say you can't have BLUE food!?

Oh and minis up the WHAZOO too.

YAY for mini cupcakes!

I bought one of each color and flavor plus the "brownie" mini with the sprinkles...
RESEARCH!!!

Yellow duck HEARTS Eleni's min cupcakes.

Oh and they taste just as good as they look.

Try em!
