Baked by Melissa says goodbye to its SoHo window with free cupcakes

After the news of Crumbs closing finally died down, we thought we were through with sad cupcake stories for a while. We were wrong.

On Monday, July 21, mini-cupcake empire Baked by Melissa will shutter its original location, the little SoHo window where its bite-sized sweets were first sold five years ago. To bid farewell to her first shop, Melissa Bushell herself will hand out free cupcakes on the location's last day from 9am–2pm. 

But don't fret, there are still 13 other outposts to find the tiny treats, including the East Village, Grand Central and Midtown West locations.
