What's better than a sweet, moist, perfectly frosted chocolate cupcake? An excuse to eat one, of course! October 18 is National Chocolate Cupcake Day, an occasion to celebrate with one of the most well-loved desserts of all time.

Our REALTORS® love cupcakes just as much as you do, and today they'll be sharing some of their favorite places to get them around Long Island. Make sure to head out and get one before the big day!

• Buttercooky Bakery - 217 Jericho Turnpike, Floral Park, NY 11001
  The Buttercooky Bakery has been open for more than 50 years and is still a favorite of many people living near our Floral Park homes for sale. Their chocolate cupcakes are one of their specialties and can be ordered in singles or by the dozen.
  
  They offer basic gourmet cupcakes with buttercream frosting and delightful themed versions with characters like Spiderman, Elmo, and Minnie Mouse. If you want to get a bit more adventurous with your chocolate treat, try their Oreo or M&M cupcakes. Both give you that same rich chocolate taste with a little extra crunch. 
  
  
• Roger's Frigate – 99 Main Street A, Port Jefferson, NY 11777
  Rogers's Frigate is a must-see Long Island location for anyone with a sweet tooth. This sizable shop near our Port Jefferson homes for sale stocks every kind of sugary goodie imaginable, from homemade fudge and gelato to hard-to-find commercial candies and bulk options for all your favorites. 
  
  The Frigate's in-house bakery is refilled daily with fresh cookies, pastries, muffins, macarons, and of course, cupcakes. Their chocolate cupcakes are generously sized, swirled with buttercream, and topped with sprinkles, candies, or delicate gum paste flowers. Once you've ordered your treat, you can sit down to eat it in the shop's cheery dining area. Be sure to take a look at all the other fun goodies on the shelves before you leave! 
  
  
• Copenhagen Bakery - 75 Woodbine Avenue Ste A, Northport, NY 11768-2898
  Copenhagen Bakery is one of the top spots for baked goods around our Northport homes for sale. Looking at their gorgeous gourmet cupcakes piled high with fresh buttercream, it's easy to see why they're so popular!
  
  All their baked goods are made with the finest ingredients and made fresh every day. Themed cupcakes are sometimes available depending on what the bakers choose to create that day, so you may be able to snag one for your National Chocolate Cupcake Day celebration. To sweeten the deal even further, they occasionally offer special prices for national days like this, so you might be able to get your delicious treat at a discount!
  
  
• Front Street Bakery – 51 Front Street, Rockville Centre, NY 11570
  While Front Street Bakery is most famous for goodies like their dot cookies and Danish crumb cakes, they were voted "Best Cupcake on Long Island" in 2022's Bethpage Best of Long Island competition for a reason: their cupcakes are unbelievably delicious. Moist, buttery, and with plenty of flavor, they're so good that they're sure to set your new standard for what a cupcake should be. 
  
  Their chocolate cupcakes are among their best, full of classic deep cocoa notes that perfectly balance the sweetness of the frosting. If you're in the area near our Rockville Centre homes for sale, stop by early to pick one up before they're all gone!
  
  
• Stanley's Bakery - 68 East Main Street, East Islip, NY 11730
  Stanley's Bakery may not look like much from the outside, but locals know better. In the estimation of many people living near our East Islip homes for sale, this is one of the best places to get cake on all of Long Island.
  
  This shop's chocolate cupcakes are perfect single-serving morsels to enjoy alongside a cup of coffee. Their staff is always experimenting with new ways to decorate this classic treat, so you never know what kind of sprinkles, toppings, or other additions you might find on your next visit.
