MMM MMM..MAGNOLIA..CUP CAKES..THE BEST EVA..

There is a reason why the line is so long outside the famous Magnolia! Magnolia is a quaint bakery, located in the West Village on 11th and Bleeker. Amidst all the sex stores, and brownstone grandeur, it stands apart thanks to the crowd that is often lingering outside waiting just to have 1, 2 or a dozen cup cakes!
All kinds of people flock here- tourists, locals, ahem even celebrities (apparently its one of Sarah Jessica Parker's our Sex in the City gal's favorite spots), and foodies just to get a bite of the creamiest most fatty yummy mm mm good cup cakes. I discovered this haven when my colleague dragged me during our lunch break to get a "treat" one summer afternoon when I used to work Soho, I have been hooked since then! This is one of those guilty pleasures that you just have to enjoy without thinking of it. My colleague and I used to convince ourselves that it was ok to get Magnolia cup cakes every now and then as we would split it-less calories, but same satiating sinful feeling- the kind that makes u feel so good!!!




YOU WILL NEVER SEE CUP CAKES THE SAME WAY!! TRUST ME PEEPS..ITS WORTH THE STROLL TO THE WEST VILLAGE!

DID YOU KNOW? Cupcakes evolved from muffins during the nineteenth century, and gained the name "cup" cakes or "measure" cakes because of the use of the practice of measuring the ingredients using a standard-sized cup instead of the previous practice of weighing the ingredients.
