Magnolia Bakery
>> Wednesday, November 5, 2008
This impulse decision to head to Magnolia Bakery could not have come at a better time.
This West Village establishment has made its name by creating the most delicious cupcakes in all of Manhattan. Yeah, I said it, most delicious.
It's been on shows like Sex and the City and for good reason. These little morsels are so moist and the icing is a creamy, buttery dream.
When you walk into the store you'll immediately notice the size. This is the true definitely of a bakery; quaint and filled with baked treats. Next you'll see the tray filled with all different sorts of cupcakes and boxes neatly stacked near by. Grab a box, fill it up, and head to the check-out counter.
I opted for a straight up yellow cupcake with vanilla icing and could not be more pleased. I knew that I wasn't going to get the freshest cupcake because it was 10 pm on a Sunday night, but still Magnolia did not disappoint.
Surrounding the bakery there is a park where you can still and enjoy your treat, much like I did.
Overall, going at 10 pm had it's pros and cons. Pros - not having to wait in line; Cons - not the freshest of cupcakes.
I would recommend Magnolia Bakery to anyone looking to satisfy a little sweet tooth :)
