Cupcakes, like babies, are smaller, cuter, and more tempting to nibble on. Indulge your maternal/carniveral instincts with today's Groupon: for $6, you get four maxi-sized gourmet cupcakes (an $11 value) at The Duck & Bunny on Wickenden Street.

The Duck & Bunny offers a menu of savories, delicacies, and comforting treats inside an ornately decorated snuggery, with chandeliers, fine drapes and curtains, and a fireplace whose mantle makes a home for the self-portrait of a handsome bunny. Maxi-sized gourmet cupcakes are freshly crafted daily in different flavors. Cupcake mouth-fragrances include the chewy, fudgy, and sweetly shocking brownie mint surprise, the carrot cupcake, which tops a moist, rabbit bait-flavored mini cake with cream-cheese frosting, and the peanut-butter chocolate truffle, a sweet mountain of chocolate ganache, peanut butter, and chocolate-swirl frosting.

Reviews

The Duck & Bunny has been featured in the Brown Daily Herald and on Providence City News. Yelpers give it a four-star average:

• The attention to detail is superb: the petite cupcakes, blue velvet curtains and menus on clipboards align to create a cozy aesthetic. – Avery Houser, Brown Daily Herald
• All the touches of home-comfort hit you from the moment you walk in, from the smell of baked cupcakes and fresh-brewed coffee, a sophisticated bar, plush seating, three fireplaces, and original hardword [sic] floors add up to the kind of heart-warming vibe the Beckers are trying to achieve. If you wanted a blanket, they’d offer you one! – Providence City News, Issue No. 336
