Mrs. Maxwell’s Bakery can fuggedaboutit.Yesterday, Brooklyn borough prez Marty Markowitz (right) stopped by Atlantic Avenue’s sugar haven to commend it for going green through Con Edison’s small biz energy efficiency program, saving $7,000 in energy costs annually (the equivalent of more than 4,600 cupcakes).
