I have to try Sugar Sweet Sunshine and compare. If you're ever in Queens (Astoria or Midtown) Martha's has a decent red velvet. I did try Billy's over the summer and ended up with 3 burnt Red Velvet cupcakes (and I couldn't tell b/c the cream cheese frosting covered everything until I got into the car and unwrapped) and a stomach ache. Apparently, whatever die they use, I'm allergic. Orrrr, it was the combination of Supermac + burnt red velvets. I like buttercup. I have to try Sugar Sweet Sunshine and compare.

Which is in the neighborhood and a nice lil walk back and to there. They also make a killer strawberry rhubarb pie when it's in season! Also someone needs to tell the folks at Magnolia to take their ego bloated heads and stuff it up their tight butts. Magnolia is one of the most overrated ever, I’ll take Sugar Sweet Sunshine.

Sugar Sweet Sunshine is quite good. I'm also a big fan of Batch on West 10th Street. Carrot cupcakes with salted caramel frosting...mmm. @Abrain: Totally agree on the dry factor.
