Ferrero Roche chocolate, peanut butter and Swedish Fish. Need I say more? Cupcakes are always fun, and they’re cute and simple. They’ll sweeten up any birthday party in place of a regular cake, or they’ll just make the perfect treat. Best of all, some of the most unique and absolutely mouth-watering cupcakes can be found right in Saratoga — most right off Broadway.

The Bread Basket — 65 Spring Street

This 21-year-old local business’s vertical case of cupcakes stands right next to the back entrance and displays such heavenly bits of dessert such as the Peanut Butter Cup cupcake with its peanut butter mousse filling and peanut butter frosting beneath chocolate ganache and caramel drizzle, or the PBJ yellow cupcake with peanut butter frosting and jelly filling.

“We have great local customers who buy our cupcakes,” says bakery owner Matthew Tallman, “which we love. I can’t stress enough how much we cater to our local customers.”

Tallman sells specialty cupcakes every day for $4.50. Regular large cupcakes are $3.50 and small are $2.50.

Bettie’s Cakes: A Cupcakery Café — 454 Broadway

The atmosphere in this little cupcake-devoted shop is retro and fun. Everything is pink and blue, with retro booths, stools and a black-and-white tiled floor. Even some of their cupcakes have a retro feel, like the Black Raspberry Ice Cream Cone cupcake (vanilla cake filled with raspberry preserves and topped with black raspberry buttercream, sprinkles, a sliver of an ice cream cone and a cherry). Bettie’s best-seller, though, is their Red Velvet cupcake.

“People love the Red Velvet,” says manager Stephanie Danz. “It’s a combination of the cream cheese frosting, the freshness and its lightness.” The Red Velvet is technically made with chocolate cake, but because it’s made with cocoa powder it’s actually very light.

Look for the Bettie’s Cupcakes pink double decker bus and smaller bus that travel around to fairs, birthday parties and deliveries, or meet the cupcake mascot who will show up at your door if you want. For $3 a cupcake ($1.25 for minis), these preservative-and-trans-fat-free cupcakes are tasty and fun.
