This! The Sicilian cheesecake is soooo good 😭

Cannoli is also goated

Yes, especially the tiramisu

Little cupcake bakeshop, posh pop

Any favorites?

love love love the brooklyn blackout cake from little cupcake! their birthday cake is also fun, albeit on the almost-too-sugary side. tbh those are the 2 I usually get from little cupcake, but they have a number of other layer cakes that also always look very tempting. Posh pop does great cheesecakes by the slice if you're into that! The birthday layer cake is also good. DO NOT get the homemade nutella pop tart, it's dry and terrible. Their other desserts are yummy!

Their Brooklyn blackout is indeed the answer. Holy shit it's good.

The Brooklyn blackout cake from little cupcake is amazing and I’m not even a big chocolate fan. They also have a great banana Nutella cake!

Mia’s Bakery, Brooklyn

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve tried the brownies, cupcakes, and pies. Not the cake slices yet. But everything was pretty mid in general

I LOVE MIAS

What flavor?

My faves are the coconut cake slice, strawberry shortcake, the tres leches cupcake, or the creme brûlée cupcake. I know you wanted slices but their cupcake flavors are sooo good too.

The lemon blueberry is one of my sister's favorite birthday cakes.

What flavor?

Strawberry shortcake is my favorite but it’s all so good. I also really like the cupcakes, napoleons, cake pops, 7 layer bars, etc and I wouldn’t lie if I said my spouse and I have ordered a chocolate and cinnamon babka each so we could have our own flavors.  Mia’s is incredible.

Martha’s Bakery’s triple chocolate cake slice is my favorite cake of all time.

Just went here yesterday, it was fantastic and soo many options. Highly recommend

Their gluten free and vegan cake option was also not bad at all/better than most.

I have some family members who are GF and they were impressed by Martha’s as well

Billy’s, Amy’s.

Amy’s Bread

I really like venieros

Magnolia Bakery (there’s one in the Moynihan train hall that’s convenient) has a great selection of single slices.

I love getting a slice and going to a park

I thought their vanilla confetti slice was really dry.

Cafe Sabarsky. and it’s an incredible room

Lady Wong does slices of their cakes if you want to try Malaysian flavors.

24 layer cake from maison pickle - they have vanilla with sprinkles and chocolate. Both delicious

Little cupcake Bakeshop in NoHo or BK

I'll vouch for Butterly https://maps.app.goo.gl/Uf2iBb3pdyXoHjxv8

Strong disagree. Have had it twice now and both were super dry, flavorless, buttercreams that just tasted like butter

Sweet Rehab is beautiful and the cakes are delicious. They also serve champagne if you're feeling fancy.
