A Tiny Take on Cupcakes

Here’s a new twist on a trend that just won't go away: bite-size cupcakes no bigger than a quarter. Melissa Bushell recently launched Baked By Melissa, which specializes in the tiny confections, saying that the miniature size allows guests to sample more flavors. The cupcakes are made with fillings like cookies and cream or peanut butter and jelly flavors, or come unfilled in varieties like red velvet or tie-dye, which has a swirl of rainbow sherbet hues. Custom flavors and fillings are also possible. Cupcakes cost 90 cents each; orders of 500 or more receive a discount. Free delivery is available throughout Manhattan.
