51% off Cupcakexpress
I have never heard of Cupcakexpress, a cupcake delivery service, but they are offering $82 worth of cupcakes for $40. Which seems like a great deal...if you were planning on spending $82 on cupcakes. They are 4 bucks a piece, or $10-12 for a dozen, so maybe it wouldn't be so hard to spend so much.
Get the deal here. Once purchased the offer is good till June 25, 2011. You must order your cupcakes 24 hours in advance. Fee applies for deliveries outside Manhattan. Deal applies to regular cupcakes only, not minis.

Sign the Petition Against the New Food Truck Bill
Via NYC, Style, & a Little Cannoli.
If you haven't heard, there is a bill that would effectively make it impossible for food trucks to operate in the city. If a truck gets 3 parking tickets, they are out of business.
So sign the petition, like the Facebook page, and go to Councile Woman Lappin's website or Council Woman Karen Koslowitz's website and let them know what you think.
Some food trucks that sell sweets include Cupcake Stop, Dessert Truck, Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream, Big Gay Ice Cream Truck, Street Sweets, and the Treats Truck.
Looking for even more food trucks? Check out this useful site!

Best Chocolate Cake in the World Opens
Via The Feed & Grub Street NY.
Best Chocolate Cake in the World
55A Spring St (between Lafayette and Mulberry Sts)
(212-343-2253)
Yep, that is the name of the bakery. This is the first American location of a Brazil based chain. They will also serve Counter Culture coffee and Il Laboratorio del Gelato.
From Grub Street: Bras's "best chocolate cake in the world" is actually three cakes of varying sweetness: a sugary cake made with 53 percent cocoa, a semisweet made with 70 percent, and — for those adventurous of palate — a bitter, zero-sugar version that's touted as being lower in calories. All are variations on a recipe made "without flour or baking powder ... a confection made from a top-of-the-line Belgian chocolate mousse," which from pictures appears to be swirled together with meringue.
