Momofuku Milk Bar

Profile

In its early days, Momofuku made do without dessert (unless you count the Hershey’s Kisses David Chang occasionally doled out at Noodle Bar). But as the organization matured, it gained a staff sweet tooth in the energetic form of Christina Tosi, 27, who’d worked at WD-50 and Bouley before she served Ssäm Bar’s first Tristar strawberry shortcake. Then came Noodle Bar’s kooky soft-serve, Ko’s deep-fried apple pie, and finally, a bona fide bakery adjacent to Ssäm Bar called Momofuku Milk Bar. Or, in the words of Tosi herself, “Dairy Queen with pork buns.” — Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite

This foodie favorite does multitiered wedding cakes with an organic, just-baked feel. Flavors include pistachio, dulce de leche, chocolate chip, and carrot. Delivery and setup available on location. From $400 for sm. three-tier cake; $750 for four-tier. Cakes must be reserved online.
