The Pastry Corner in Mount Kisco will create anything to your preference, personalizing the design and flavor to each individual client.
Rainbow unicorn cupcakes have been the most popular recently, but the bakery can bring to life pretty much any shape or theme, in flavors like decadent Devil’s food, strawberry, and lavender.

Order: Cupcake cake
For anyone who’s looking for an excuse to throw a party, you’re going to want to take a look at this giant cupcake. It’s technically a cake — this giant cupcake can serve up to 15 people — but we’re okay with letting that slide. As with all of this Hastings-on-Hudson bakery’s products, the cupcake cake is gluten- and dairy-free and certified kosher, so everyone can enjoy Cupcake Lover’s Day.
If you’d like a variety of cupcakes (or just don’t need cupcakes for 15), check out some of the other options, including the selection of mini cupcakes that will let your satisfy your sweet tooth in just a couple bites.
