Cupcake Corner Serves Up Best Mother's Day Brunch

When it comes to treating mom to a special Mother's Day brunch, The Cupcake Corner is the place to go.

When we asked Patch readers this week to vote for the place in Garden City that serves up the best Mother's Day brunch, this whimsical cafe, located in the West End at 61 New Hyde Park Rd., emerged as the winner. Laura and John Graney's gourmet shop took 46 percent of the votes. Rein at the Garden City Hotel came in a close second. 

In addition to its scrumptious cupcakes, The Cupake Corner also offers croissants, danishes, cakes, pancakes and wafflies, all baked on the premises. They also serve up sandwich wraps, quiche, gourmet ice cream, yogurt parfaits, hot cocoa, and a variety of coffees and teas.

For Mother's Day, The Cupcake Corner will be hosting an elegant tea party from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 13. It will feature delicious filled crepes, freshly baked scones with Devon cream and homemade preserves, fresh fruit, a selection of Harney & Sons fine teas, and lemonade. And ofcourse, there will be cupcakes - Death by Chocolate and Victorian Rose Vanilla cupcakes, and assorted cookies. 

Children will also have the chance to create a Mother's Day themed craft and every Mom will receive a special gift.

Reservations and pre-payment are required for the event. The cost is $12.95 per child, $19.95 per adult.

Next week, Patch will be looking for the best ways to spend a 'staycation' in Garden City. Nominate a local park or other favorite place in the comments space below.
