Answer 1

The italicized phrase should be placed after "one" to clarify the meaning of the sentence. So the revised sentence would read:

"The new bakery on Fifth Avenue is better than the one I usually buy cupcakes from that Clara told me about."

This placement makes it clear that the phrase describes the "one" you're comparing the new bakery to.
