Molly's Cupcakes

Description
The story behind this new cupcake café is sweeter than the goods themselves: Owner John Nicolades named it after his favorite grade-school teacher, who baked cupcakes for students' birthdays, whose recipes are behind the shop's sweets and whose personal belongings (like vintage ice skates) are fancifully displayed on the walls. In our two favorites of the half-dozen cupcakes, bits of bright carrot mesh with cream-cheese buttercream, and tangy dollops of lemon curd cut a rich vanilla cake. Reenact your own grade-school days by having a cupcake at the swing-style chairs flanking the counter. Look for morning hours featuring breakfast baked goods and coffee drinks to start in a few weeks.
