i took a trip to New York last month and stayed with my friend S, and he and i went all over the place! part of the journey was, of course, visiting Magnolia Bakery, and we stood in line waiting for that glorious cupcake experience.
the actual bakery was quite cute; the service was nice, and the cupcake? well, pretty unique.
i ordered the red velvet with cream cheese frosting ($3.50) and ate it while sitting near a water fountain.. very city-esque. the actual cake was .. well, average. pretty much standard for what you'd expect red velvet to taste like! the interesting part was the frosting - i had never tasted frosting that was whipped to that extreme before! it was kind of flavourless though, but the texture was cloud-like. i feel like if there was more cream cheese, it would be even better.
i'm dying to try some of their other things - banana cream pie, cookies, or even their cakes. it'll definitely be on my to-do list when i go back!
