“Best Cupcakes in New York Area? Greenport’s Butta’ Cakes Delivers Bliss”

If you’re looking for a great cupcake–one of the best I’ve sampled–you’ll have to drive a couple of hours to Greenport on Long Island’s North Fork. There, you’ll find vineyards laced with vines just beginning to bud. But the sumptuous cupcakes at new Greenport Bakery Butta’ Cakes are more intoxicating than the local wines. In fact, for pure carb delight, I’d go with these cupcakes over a glass of North Fork vino any day of the week.

In Greenport, the charming seaport town on the spine of land that’s flanked by Peconic Bay and Long Island Sound, owner Marc LaMaina just opened up Butta’ Cakes on Main Street this past weekend. Now, the heavenly treats are rolling out of the new bake shop’s ovens.

Owner LaMaina spent the last several years working at a bakery in South Carolina, and his pastry chef, Christine Thompson, attends a local community college culinary school. At one point, she was a cake decorator for the bakery section of a supermarket. But this woman is much more than a grocery store baker.

One Butta’ Cakes cupcake I’ll come back for is composed of vanilla cake with Italian meringue butter cream frosting. Airy, yet rich the cake was the perfect complement to the luscious buttery frosting. Other combinations include Belgian chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting, Guinness cake (yes, it’s made with the beer), and a luscious looking lemon cake topped with a lemon-vanilla frosting.

As we stepped outside the shop onto Main Street, three beefy guys were standing nearby, each one downing fistfuls of cupcakes. “Mmmm,” they sighed with each bite, rolling their eyes heavenward.

The cupcakes are priced at 2.75 each, with one dozen for $30.

LaMaina  says they’ll be offering up cookies soon. Breakfast is being planned as well, with selections consisting of  fresh croissants, danish and muffins. By summer, the bakery hopes to to offer a simple menu of egg sandwiches made on their  fresh baked bread. A cheese and dessert fondue menu will be on tap soon, from 7 pm-11 pm.

A Luscious Moment at Butta’ Cakes, Greenport

I have this secret fantasy. If I had the ability to choose any profession, I would love to be Cakespy. Imagine traveling the world in search of the perfect cupcake? Think of the danger, the intrigue, the icing and the extraordinary sugar highs!

So, when I happened upon the just-opened “butta’ cakes” at 119 Main Street in Greenport, New York, it was like that defining moment in an Alfred Hitchcock movie when the reluctant hero must decide whether to leap into action.

I immediately asked myself the question, “What would Cakespy do?”

First, take pictures. Then, eat!

Owner Marc LaMaina serves up high-fashion, fantasy cupcakes at an unassuming storefront in the bustling seaport town. In keeping with the factory-style theme, cupcake varieties sit on wire stands and are labeled simply with black magic marker on the glass display case.
The Lemon Cupcake stands tall adorned with a dollop of frothy butter cream and a shocking yellow piece of lemon jelly slice candy. LaMaina’s style is subtle, not saccharine. The cake is deliciously tender and the icing is velvety smooth, without being cloying. Other insanely enticing options are Coconut and Oreo Cookie. It was a tough choice, but believe me, I’m going back for more!

And, if Cakespy is interested, I’d be more than willing to attend cupcake boot camp and become a full-fledge member of the team.
