"Walking in the East Village, blink and you might miss this tiny storefront from baker Greg Rales (look for the “Be Gay, Eat Cookies” A-frame out front). Cake is the specialty here, though they have been growing in popularity for their oversized weekend-only special cinnamon buns and olive oil cakes as well. They always have several whole cakes you can order, and one type of cake available by the slice at any given time. You might stop by to find a classic like yellow birthday with chocolate sour cream frosting or lil’ pudding (their riff on a devil’s food cake), or you might find a rare slice, like a chips n’ dip cake or latke cake." - Mike Chau
