Magnolia’s Original Cupcakes on Bleecker
Magnolia Bakery makes the cupcake that is every New Yorker’s favorite, so much so that there is a line coming out of the bakery, rounding the corner till 12am on some nights. Magnolia’s opened in 1996, with their Bleecker street location, and more recently their Rockefeller Center and Columbus Avenue locations. The original chocolate or vanilla cupcakes with chocolate or vanilla icing in pastel colors are on the top of everyone’s list. They are always soft and buttery, sweet with a generous amount of icing. If you’re into other flavors of cupcakes, Magnolia’s also offers red velvet, pumpkin, coconut, German, and more. There is a one dozen limit each person can purchase, so make sure you pick your favorite flavors. Besides cupcakes, the icebox cakes are creamy with a soft wafer crust, making for a delectable treat. Also try the fresh banana pudding that they are famous for made with wafers, bananas, and vanilla pudding. They even deliver! This bakery has been featured in Sex and the City, giving them even more charm.
