"Open since 1992, this was once one of two locations of Two Little Red Hens, a spot that hit its height of popularity during the cupcake craze of the ‘10s. The couple behind the bakeries split up, and one kept Two Little Red Hens uptown, which is currently closed, and the other renamed this Park Slope location to Ladybird Bakery. It recently moved to a new location just a few blocks away, but luckily remains selling their famous Brooklyn Blackout Cake. You can get it as a cupcake or in mini or large cake form (no slices). The mini cake is close enough in size to a slice that you can justify ordering one to eat for yourself in the small bakery." - Mike Chau
