I happened to be strolling through the Upper East Side one afternoon when I came across an adorable…read morebake shop located within a quaint brick building. My sweet tooth encouraged me to peek into the window for further investigation. I had never heard of the bakery and its bland name, but immediately noticed its Zagat food quality rating of 28 posted in the window. At that point, I knew that I had to forgo any pledge of healthy eating to indulge with a pastry. I entered the store and drooled over mini tarts, massive cookies, and other decadent goodies. I greeted the man behind the counter and inquired about the history of the shop. Apparently, it had been around for a few years and was the highest-ranked bakery in the city, according to Zagat. After a lengthy internal debate, I decided to order an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, assuming that it might be healthier than some of the more elaborate treats. However, the doughy disk was gigantic. The addicting, homemade flavor tasted like raw dough packed with cinnamon raisin seasoning. I was completely entranced by the tender doughiness and proceeded to devour the entire cookie within 5 minutes. I even went back for a second visit a month or so later, at which point I sampled the large Chocolate Chip Cookie that was stuffed with chunks of dark chocolate. The treat also possessed that same raw dough flavor. I had to muster up my restraint to limit myself to only a few bites, so that I could deliver the rest of the calories to my brother. Dessert Delivery was the true hidden gem of my dreams. Their affordable and tasty delicacies really define the word "treat". Thankfully, I am rarely in Dessert Delivery's neighborhood or it would be my second home!

So I whipped my bike around, and headed inside. The exterior of the store is small and cute. I loved seeing everything in the window. Great advertising. The name itself also made us giggle. There were a few others walking by and they had a giggle too. Clever for sure. Really gets people looking. Once inside there were two men working. I think it was close to closing because they were wrapping things up. But, they were willing to help us place our order and get us situated. They were kind and helpful. I opted for a chocolate base cupcake, red velvet, and funfetti. Funfetti was my favorite! The cake was moist and the icing was nice and sugary. I prefer a sugary icing. The chocolate cupcake was rich in flavor. I absolutely loved the cupcakes. Simple with a little pizazz. The cost was about $4+ for each cupcake. I think that is on point and pretty reasonable. It is comparable to other bakeries in NY and other states. I'd definitely return to grab some more on my next trip.

I got excited that I was back again. I'm not sure if it's new management bakers or what but this is not the Billy's I remember. Oh my they have fallen from grace Presentation is everything and the cupcakes were obviously old or they were trying to sell the misshaped cupcakes. Not attractive at all. Against my better judgement I ordered three cupcakes. They were HARD. Frosting HARD. Taste BAD. Like really bad. I want the old Billy's back please. The cupcakes are way too expensive to have such a dull presentation and poor taste. I went 1130am in the morning so maybe I got the batch from last night they were trying to sell before the fresh ones were put out. Keep that in mind.

We had several of our guests point out and comment on the presentation of the cake, which was embarrassing for us. I've attached a side by side comparison of the photo we provided as our inspiration, and the end result. The colors weren't the same colors in the pallet that we described to you. The flowers were lavender and baby blue. our color pallet was deep peacock: navy blue, dark plum and olive green. In our tasting session, I said I didn't want any light blue colors, no turquoise, no pink or bright purple. The fondant was more of a royal blue than navy blue. There was only a slight touch of green on the leaves and it wasn't olive green. The fondant was bumpy and uneven and there was a crease on the side. The gold ribbon was also bumpy and uneven and looked sloppily put together. The foundation that the cake was sitting on was messily put together as you can see in the photos. We had to fix it ourselves to make it presentable for pictures. The foundation was also white, instead of navy blue. We can't use any of the cake pictures taken by our photographer for display or printing, the cake is nowhere near the beauty and molded precision that we expected to get for $750. Several of our guest commented on how horrible the cake looked which was very embarrassing.
