People Left Roses Under the Painting of Pope Outside of Little Cupcake Bake Shop in Bay Ridge
A few years ago, Pope Francis was painted on the side of The Little Cupcake Bakeshop on 91st Street and 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge. I thought the owner must have commissioned an artist to paint the Pope because he liked St. Francis.
Massimo LoBuglio is the owner of Little Cupcake Bakeshop. He is also the artist. I love that painting – I see it every day.
Now only did Massimo paint the Pope in Brooklyn, he also put a painting of the Pope on his other coffee shop on Prince Street in Manhattan.
Bay Ridge residents placed flowers under the painting to show their love for St. Francis.
