Baked by Melissa

i love cupcakes, cookies, brownies, cake pops and ice cream… and these are SO good! i got my inner fat kid s dozen mini cupcakes and I ate them all… inhaled them all within 2 minutes. i loved how tiny they were and also so full of flavor, but instead of just smashing a dozen normal sized ones I have zero (well not zero, but low) guilt. lol. definite recommend checking it out! pb&j was super

$ 1/​macaroon or mini-​cupcake!
I bought a couple of 5-​packs of macaroons because it packed well for traveling but after eating them, I wish I had bought more! The workers were very patient and sweet and advised that I freeze them if I wasn’t going to be eating them right away. Even after coming out of the freezer, the macaroons tasted fresh and delicious. Next time I will try the cupcakes as well!

Reading all the reviews makes me sad they didn’t offer any cupcakes with macarons on top! Excited to find a Baked by Melissa at the terminal, I bought four 12 piece boxes, one of each flavor, and a 6 piece box all as gifts. I found out adding the tie dye ribbon costs $ 1 each but what the hey, it looks pretty and presentable. It was very nice of the employees to wrap the boxes up with plastic wrap before adding bows to seal in freshness. Right before our flight, we ate almost a whole dozen so I ran back to the store and bought the 25 piece bubble container for $ 20 a few minutes before boarding. Good thing we were at the closest gate! We really liked the cookies & cream, mint cookie, red velvet, chocolate chip pancake, and April flavor chocolate Babka with cinnamon filling.
I interacted with both employees and they were polite and patient. I added on the 4^th dozen while she was tying the ribbon. We also got some free cupcake stickers and temporary tattoos. Pricey at $ 12/​dozen but great NYC gift to bring back home!

Don’t like it! The cupcake is small and not impressed at all! Just have a fancy appearance ! Not worth a try

These cupcakes, let’s face it, are insanely over priced (insanely) but that being said its a genius idea and I’ve never tasted one that wasn’t delicious. I also love that every month they have a new flavor of the month. The girls in my life love these things so we spend $ 100s here. And keep doing so because the product continues to deliver.

Yummmmm. If you’re in terminal 2 of JFK, I higgggghhly recommend that you go here for a little snack. It was s perfect treat. I got the fall special with peanut butter and the tie dye one. They were both so good! And only a $ 1 each!

There are worse desperation sweets options out there, especially because they don’t gouge given the location.

This is the new thing in New York — tiny little cupcakes for $ 1.00 each. I had been to an NYU Bookstore open house the day before where they served these little treasures. They are meant to be eaten in one bite so you can enjoy the clever blending of flavors. I bought 12 for $ 10 for my husband (huge cupcake lover!) and asked for one of each flavor to test out as many flavors as possible.
They are so friggin’ adorable!!! And they come with a menu so you can match up which ones you’re eating. I know it’s a gimmick but they are moist and delicious. Fun to share!

I was rushing through customs to get to a connecting flight to Fort Lauderdale as they were boarding passengers. In amidst of all this hustle and bustle, I managed to drop by Baked by Melissa for a quick order of a dozen cupcakes. The guy behind the counter saw the urgency in my face although I tried to keep my composure with a smile (smiling mostly due to the sight of a pretty display of cupcakes galore) — he quickly suggested getting one of everything since they had 12 flavors out. BOOM. Done. I only requested to opt out Chocolate Mint so I may have two of the Cotton Candy Cuparons (yes, a mini cupcake topped with a macaron shell). I’m also stunned that the cuparons are the same price as the rest of the mini cuppies, because usually macarons are pricy so I would expect an extra $ 1 or $ 0.50 charge for the delicate topping.
In all, the cupcakes are VERY pretty, in which the term «cute» is super appropriate (it’ll be the first word you’ll think of at first sight). I enjoyed all the gourmet bites — made me wish they were bigger so I may enjoy some more! And the to-​go bag came with the visual menu, business card, and a sticker of the logo (I was very excited for the sticker). Oh and if you’re wondering, yes, I made it to my flight (being one of the last few passengers to board, hehe).

I’ve seen this store a lot in the streets of NYC and finally tried it at the airport!
$ 3 for 3 mini cupcakes:
*Tye Dye– more color than flavor but good
*Red Velvet-​nice and moist
*Strawberry cupcaroon– mini cupcake with half of a mini macaroon on top. Cute and delicious!
I seriously wasn’t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. The hype is not just the looks but also the taste. They came in a small cute box that screamed for a picture and mini ads/​flyers about the store. Apparently, they also have flavor of the month, cute idea.
Service was typical NYC. Dry and rude, sigh…
But it satisfies the sweet tooth!

It’s the hype. It’s the cuteness. It’s Melissa’s.
Each eat bite is full of goodness, since they’re super bite size. The seasonal and traditional flavors are great choices. The chocolate is rich, and each scrumptious bite you take leads you to another one. It literally took me 6 minutes to finish 6 little cupcakes. As I was trying to savor the flavor in each individual. I personally think, they do need to be a tad bit bigger or have other variations in bigger sizes.
They come pretty much a buck a piece, relatively expensive but they’re simple but good gifts. It’s unique a edible gift for family and friends.

I thought this place was really cute. It’s always refreshing to find a unique food shop at an airport. I do assume that the other locations in NYC are better, however, I enjoyed my cupcakes from Baked by Melissa. I got the pack of six miniature cupcakes and brought them on the plane with me.
There were so many flavors to choose from. My favorites were pancake, tie-​dye, and s’mores. I will probably go there again the next time I’m flying out of JFK.

Maybe Melissa has an established product following and I am just out of the loop, but I was underwhelmed by this place. Cute setup, good selection of flavors, but the «cupcakes» themselves are like ¹⁄₅^th the size of a regular mini cupcake– they seem to be going for the «just the tops» crowd, but when I’m paying dollar for a piece of undercooked cake the size of my thumbnail, it better be amazing.
But it’s not– tastes like the dough is barely cooked, but I will say that the flavors are very distinct. PB&J and their version of Mint Chocolate Chip were both good, Red Velvet was very basic, Tie Dye seems to be their take on classic Confetti Cake. Didn’t care for their featured Crunch flavor or the chocolate-​covered versions.
Side note: they also give out an absurd amount of «featured product» ads, brand stickers and tattoos, and other marketing materials with every order. I shouldn’t have as many flyers as «cupcakes» with my order.

These were a last minute purchase before hopping onto my favorite airline. Located in Terminal 5 at JFK. (TIP: The jetBlue crew flying JFK to PHX loves these. So buy them some!)
Cupcakes are adorably tiny, artfully decorated and they are delicious! The size is what counterbalances any guilt. Zero calories I promise you. Especially when you eat four.
12 cupcakes for $ 10. Never buy just one.
Cupcake art can be ordered. Instead of having a large cake made for an event you can request a large design. These tiny explosions of heavenly goodness are then arranged into the design of your choice. Easy to nibble on without looking like a glutton. (Minimum order of 100 cupcakes for $ 85. Assembled for pickup or Manhattan delivery available. They ship too but you accept assembly duty!)
In a hideous taste of gluttony (But It Is Not — These Are Small) Baked by Melissa offers a «Mini of Month Club». We all need this in our lives. Three, six or twelve months memberships available, with 25, 50 or 100 cupcakes.
I say go big.
GO BIG!
You’ll have the rest of the month to work it off.
Don’t feel left out if you’re reading this in Phoenix:
Nationwide delivery!
$ 20 minimum + shipping

I really don’t see what the hype is about.
I paid a dollar for a melted, tiny excuse for a cupcake.
Yes, the packaging is pretty but that’s pretty much what you’re paying for.
Also, get happier people to work here.
You’d think working around sugar would make people happy-​but not here apparently.
I don’t like being greeted with «what do you want» when excitedly embarking on a vacation.
I won’t be patronizing Melissa’s again.

Cupcakes were really delicious. Perfect size for a tiny sweet tooth. I purchased the cupcakes @ the Roosevelt field mall

Super yummy mini cupcakes! Quality and taste is excellent. Price is very reasonable for these cute creations: ~ 1 $ per cupcake. A huge range of special Variations and a touch screen menu that shows you filling, topping and dough of each composition :)

I like the idea of a one bite cupcake. You can sample a lot more flavors without all the calories and all the money.
After a really long and shitty day of traveling I was drawn to the clean and pretty store. The menu seemed interesting with a variety of flavors and it LOOKED good.
But the actual cupcakes in the glass display just looked like they were in the hot sun for too long, like they just melted. They weren’t all quite uniform in shape and the size is pretty small for $ 1.
I ordered the cookie dough, the red velvet, and the triple chocolate fudge. I also ordered the chocolate covered cookie cream one. My first (and only) bite of the chocolate covered cookie cream was awful. It tasted like the way packaging styrofoam smells. I don’t know what happened. But based on that taste alone, I wouldn’t order it, or any of the chocolate covered ones, again. Out of the rest of the cupcakes, the best was probably the cookie dough. It had little bits of cookie dough in it which was what I wanted. The other two were not memorable.
Service was polite but tired.

I love this cute little bakery that went from a side counter in Soho to what it is today. These bite size morsels makes my heart melt every time.
My guilty pleasure!

These make great giveaway gifts, to share with others or even for oneself. I like bite sized desserts SO no guilty indulgance afterwards: D
