Dessert of the Day: Sweet Revenge Cupcakes

There's no shortage of good cupcakeries in Manhattan, because New Yorkers love these gourmet childhood treats as much as they do grumbling at pedestrians who walk too slow. But there's one downtown destination that stands out from the crowd, and this one couples cupcake eating with another New York pastime: imbibing.

Enter Sweet Revenge. Marlo Scott's creative Greenwich Village spot takes happy hour to the next level and sinfully pairs decadent cupcakes with wine and beer. Our favorites include "The Pure"—a vanilla cake made with Mexican vanilla buttercream and paired with Principato Pinot Noir or Belgian Kwak beer and "The Dirty"—a Valhrona chocolate cake with dark chocolate truffle, paired with Stormhoek Pinotage or Kopparberg pear cider. Trick: Cute and quaint, Sweet Revenge makes for a fun post-work date spot! So whether you're feeling naughty or nice, this cupcake, wine & beer bar will seduce you (and your sweetheart).

Tip: For sweet tips on baking these decadent bad boys and creating their signature frosted "mohawks", check out our video with Marlo.
