Recently, I made an accidental yet delightful discovery on the Upper East Side of Manhattan - Lady M Cake Boutique.  If you are a lover of cake, then consider Lady M heaven on earth where you'll find yourself very much alive and filled with childlike glee at the confections before you.

Enter into the svelte and all white decor to discover lavishly adorned galettes, meringues, mille feuille, and crepes.

On the day of my visit I opted to try the Lady M Mille Crepes - 20 layers of thin hand-made crepes filled with creamy vanilla custard, topped with caramelized sugar.  Needless to say, I experienced nothing but excitement and mouth pleasing joy from the first to the last bite! 

Pricing:  $7.50 per slice, 6" - $40, 9" - $75

Address:  41 East 78th Street, b/w Madison and Park Avenue, NY, NY 10075, (212) 452-2222
