You could come to this adorable Edgewater bakery just for the Metropolis coffee and the delicious, moist cupcakes (and you should—they're fantastic). But don't overlook the shop's most impressive offering: its custom-decorated cakes. Owner Michele McAtee is a genius at crafting sugar into works of art; some of her remarkable creations include cupcakes shaped to look like a turntable and a cake topped with an evil clown vomiting rainbow-colored sprinkles.
