A Sweet Oasis in Fort Hamilton

The bakery's warm, retro-modern interior features wooden tables and metal chairs, with outdoor picnic seating under tents during warmer months. Patrons rave about the red velvet cupcakes – moist layers paired with cream cheese frosting – and the showstopping key lime pie with graham cracker crust[2][4]. Beyond classics, creative seasonal specials like pumpkin-spiced whoopie pies and bourbon-pecan tarts keep regulars coming back.

Sustainable Indulgence

True to its mission, Little Cupcake uses:

• Organic, locally sourced dairy and eggs
• Biodegradable packaging made from recycled materials
• Energy-efficient baking equipment
  The menu includes vegan chocolate cupcakes and gluten-free dessert bars, with clearly labeled dietary options[1][5]. Staff will even package single cupcakes in custom boxes for gifting (though larger orders get priority)[5].

Beyond Cupcakes

While famous for its namesake treats, the bakery also shines with:

• Flaky fruit hand pies (apple-cranberry is a standout)
• Silken chocolate pudding topped with sea salt
• Brooklyn Blackout cake layers soaked in espresso syrup
  Pair selections with their small-batch cold brew or matcha lattes for the full experience[3].
