Why do you build me up, Buttercup

I'm having a cupcake craving right now. A Buttercup Bakeshop cupcake craving. When I used to work in NYC we'd get cupcakes for co-workers birthdays. Which pretty much turned out to be cupcakes once a week. There have been many debates- and I've certainly sampled my way through almost all of of New York's cupcakes shops- but my favorite remains Buttercup. I love their devil dog and red velvet cupcakes. Mmm.
