Brooklyn Cupcake, the brainchild of sisters Carmen Rodriguez and Gina Madera, is a delightful tale of two Brooklyn natives who turned their dream into a sweet reality. Carmen, at a pivotal moment in her career, teamed up with her sister Gina and cousin Michelle Caballero to cook up something extraordinary in their beloved Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
This quaint neighborhood cupcake shop quickly transformed into a sensation. Infusing their rich Puerto Rican and Italian heritage into every bite, the sisters, with Michelle’s assistance, whipped up a menu that’s a vibrant fusion of cultures. From humble beginnings as weekend treats for family kids, their cupcakes, flaunting flavors like Flan, Dulce de Leche, Tres Leche, Tiramisu, Rainbow Cookie, and Coquito, have become the talk of New York City, hailed as the city’s premier Latino dessert destination.
As the children grew, so did Brooklyn Cupcake’s legacy, becoming an integral part of Brooklyn’s eclectic food scene. Their menu now boasts nostalgic delights such as Flancocho and Banana Pudding, reminiscent of the sisters’ own childhood.
But the sweetest twist? Brooklyn Cupcake has now taken its charm beyond the Big Apple, spreading joy to Lake Park, Florida. This expansion marks a new chapter, bringing their unique blend of flavors and family-inspired recipes to a whole new audience.
Brooklyn Cupcake isn’t just about cupcakes anymore; it’s a celebration of culture, family, and the enduring spirit of two Brooklyn girls who dared to dream. This is Brooklyn Cupcake – a small place from Brooklyn that captured America’s heart, one cupcake at a time.
