Offshoots of a popular Princeton bakery that was a winner of the Food Network's Cupcake Wars a couple of years back, these Village-Baychester shops – links of a planned franchise – seek to set themselves apart from the copious competition with dozens of flavors both familiar (carrot cake, red velvet) and less so (rosebud, pistachio–white chocolate); options to personalize with photos or messages, weekly giveaways and bright, cheery interiors are further lures.
