Ever since I was a child, I had an appetite for sweets. Candies, cakes, muffins, and the likes. It wasn't until my high school years that I developed a fascination for what is now my favorite, red velvet. I guess it all started when I had a slice from Cake Man Raven's store in Brooklyn,NY one Spring afternoon.Not only was red my favorite color, but the rich taste of the cream frosting was simply divine. I have never tasted a desert more deserving of the title of King until that day. Still, after more than 10 years, I continue to hold red velvet cake at the top of my list. Living in New York City allows me to seek out a great number of stores that sell this delicacy, but not all prevail. There only a hand full of stores that I can depend on to supply me with the REAL deal and not with such trickery, like simple artificial coloring of red and generic white frosting. I can not tell you how much that annoys me, especially when I take the time out pf my day to deal with the crazies on the subway only find out that it was not real (insert teary eyed emoji). As of now, the stores I can depend on are Litte Pie Company on 43rd St. between 9th&10ave, Cake Man Raven on 708 Fulton St.and Piece of Velvet in Coney Island. If your sweet tooth is as great as mine, then you should definitely check out these spots as they have never failed me...not once!
