“ Elizabeth Faulkner's Citizen Cake sometimes seems like the kind of place that everyone knows about, but hardly anyone who lives here goes to, kind of like the Empire State Building or Statue of Liberty for native New Yorkers. Citizen Cupcake, too, is right before our very eyes, with its sandwich board outside Virgin Records on Market street beckoning us to ride two sets of escalators to her magical fairyland of what I'm going to call "shopping fare": the quick bits and bites you eat during a five-hour Union Square extravaganza. A single mokka cupcake ($3.50) was all I needed yesterday to inspire me to stop by more often. This fluffy and moist dark chocolate cake left hardly any oily residue on my finger tips. Powerfully coffee-flavored buttercream rose from the little cake in a proud swirl, decadently decorated with crunchy cacao nibs. That nearly gritty texture of buttercream plays with my memory of childhood, but it's so adult in its coffee flavored punch. Treat yourself! ”
