Topped with perfectly tangy sour cream frosting, these delectable little cakes are light, moist and bursting with vanilla flavor. And while they’re amazingly tasty as-is, they’re also a canvas for the creative. Decorate them with fun toppings, tint the frosting, or add your favorite filling for an extra-special treat.

Baked NYC specializes in (even obsesses about) all manner of baking Americana. Baked started as a classic American bakery and café based in Red Hook, Brooklyn, where they create a vast array of cakes, cookies, pies, tarts, muffins, scones, bars, brownies and even more sweet treats. They’re not just bakers, they’re dessert archeologists—digging and researching and eating their way through the classic, regional desserts of America.
