If you arrive at a small storefront where otherwise perfectly reasonable adults are swooning over cupcakes lathered with rich, buttercream frosting, you'll know you've found CakeLove. That's where thirty-something former-attorney-turned-baker Warren Errol Brown has realized his dream -- creating a demand for cupcakes, cakes and pound cakes made entirely from scratch, with all natural ingredients, and all the deliciously fattening things in life. You can walk into this takeout bakery with its cool vibe, and select from the specially made items in the glass case, like a chocolate on chocolate cupcake or one with lemon or coconut frosting. Or you can try a cilantro lime "Buzz Ball," Brown's trademark twist on an eclair. But with 24-hour notice Brown and his small crew can bake you a "Susie's a Pink Lady," with raspberries tucked between three layers of yellow butter cake or the "Sassy" mini pound cake infused with mango, orange, vanilla cake and cayenne spice. If only chocolate will satisfy your needs, then try the moist "New German Chocolate" layered cake with coconut and vanilla buttercream.

Disappointing
By DLaraNYC on 06/27/2008
After hearing all the hype about "Cake Love", a friend and I made a trip across town.. and we were terribly disappointed..The cupcakes were dry, the icing was thick and pasty.. I think the premise of having a cupcake is so that you can have it quick and on the go; but when we got a cupcake, they handed us a card telling us to let sit and wait for our cupcake to dethaw..and when it dethawed it probably the most wasted calorie and fat intake that I have put into my body in years. I waited again for a few months in hopes that they would have gotten it together..and it seems they haven't.. Maybe they need to take a trip to Baked and Wired in Gtown to see how to make a cake, cupcake, frosting, etc...
