Oh Rose, what a wonderful childhood memory! I can just imagine being all bundled up against the cold, with a warm bagful of mini cakes! Delicious indeed.

When I was young and my mom took me to Chinatown a lot and during the winter we used to get a bag each (my brother and I) as warm delicious treats. They were a great end to a child’s day in the big city 🙂

Rachael, I hear you! I too have a hard time finding enough hours in the day for all the blogs I love to read, so I’m especially grateful that you made your way over to Orangette–and took the time to comment, no less! And as for hunger-inducing posts, your peanut butter cookies sandwiched with chocolate mousse are mighty drool-worthy. Yeow.

I am overwhelmed with hunger reading your posts. There are always so many blogs I just dont ever seem to have time to really enjoy them, so I am super glad I made the journey here today, because it seems like things (food and otherwise) are going really well.And those mini cakes? Just about the most adorable thing ever!

Thank you, Pille! And you know, the foodie thing <>is<> nice, but I say three cheers too for a man who'll eat whatever you cook! Brandon has yet to agree to eat Brussels sprouts, one of my favorite winter vegetables, and he's reticent about raisins and figs. Grrrr.And Ruth, you're very welcome. Reading this post makes me miss New York too...

Hi Molly, that’s such a sweet story and yummy pictures! I’m smitten with someone with rather similar locks&looks, and although he has a healthy appetite (and eats everything I make with gusto), he’s no foodie (he’d happily eat spaghetti with ketchup for weeks). You’re one lucky girl;)

Amy dear, don't beat yourself up too much. You've been busy with other NY-area things, anyway, like frozen custard and the best open-faced tempeh sandwiches around. And honey, I <>know<> you must have gotten your share of love+gelato, or at least the Swedish version, < HREF="http://amylou.blogspot.com/2005/06/tip-top-krlek_10.html" REL="nofollow">love+Tip Top<>.S'kat, you know, I used to be afraid of New York too, or at least in some respects. Sometimes I'm baffled by its bustle, by all the dirt and trash and smells and tired faces on the subway. But with Brandon's help, I'm seeing it in new, more nuanced way--or some of it, at least...Michelle, I actually have a couple more NYC food finds to share with you, if I can only find the time to write about them! Grrrrrr. And next time, I'll remember your suggestion: mini cakes and gelato in the same mouthful. Mmm.

Molly, like Tara said, you are so darn cute! Its great fun to read your posts now that your head is in the clouds 🙂Im very impressed with the food finds you’ve made in NY. That gelato looks fantasticly chocolatey. I cant help but wonder what the mini cake would taste like with some of that gelato on it 🙂
