best cake in NYC?
I'll echo the love for Baked, Billy's, Amy's and Sugar Sweet Sunshine: Delicious, moist cake and not-too-sweet frosting.
As well, Betty Bakery in Brooklyn.
If you change your mind and want fancy, Lady M would be pretty incredible.
Red Velvet Cupcake Rundown
Nice roundup! My top three — Make My Cake, Daisy May's & Amy's — are well represented, and I agree that the raspberry addition from Sweet Revenge is a nice touch. Cream cheese frosting, all the way!
Best late-night dessert
Dessert Studio just closed (so sad - waiting to see where Michel Cluizel will resurface).
I second Kyotofu, and Tailor in Soho would be nice.
