9 Great Black-Owned Bakeries In NYC - New York - The Infatuation
"At this hot pink bakery in Harlem, the “L.A.” refers to neither the West Coast city nor the Lenox Ave. location, but to owner Loretta Alston, who opened the place in 2017. L.A. specializes in fluffy, moist slices of cake, as well as slightly denser cupcakes topped with polite amounts of icing. The fluorescent red velvet is one of the most popular, and it tastes pretty much like a good kiddie birthday party sheetcake. But the slice to prioritize is the toasted coconut pineapple with brown coconut flakes and chunks and shreds of juicy pineapple." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, sonal shah, hannah albertine, neha talreja
