Butter Lane combines spaces on East Seventh Street



In early June, Butter Lane Cupcakes closed for a few days for some renovations... and in recent weeks, we noticed that the annex/classroom space next door was no longer in use...

So we asked Butter Lane co-owner Maria Baugh for an explanation.

"Late last year, we set up a classroom within our Park Slope shop and got great feedback. Our setup in the East Village was never ideal — we didn't have an oven in the classroom, etc, and we'd been thinking about combining classes and retail for a while."

So...

"Once we saw how successful it was in Park Slope we decided to use it as a model for the East Village. It's more authentic (and convenient) to have classes in the shop and people get a feel for what it's like to be in a real, working bakery."

Here's a shot of the combined space via the Butter Lane Facebook page...



They opened the annex in 2010.

if people took thetime to properly parent their children they would know how to make cupcakes. that said, butterlane is the only place I would go to for cupcakes.

A real testament to the good people at Butter Lane that nygrump was able to squeeze out a good word for them ;)
