Magnolia's Cupcakes

Sex and the City…
This will divide the readers’ view I’m sure, BUT I’m going to go there… I LOVE Sex and The City. I don’t own a TV, don’t enjoy films and barely watch anything on a screen, but I did watch every single episode of SATC during my year abroad in Japan. It became a ritual – we would grab the most amazing mint-choc-chip-ice-creams from Chateraise and eat and giggle our way through episode after episode, usually with my friend Kelly.
A year later in 2007, Kelly and I found ourselves in New York – so of course we went to Magnolia Bakery to get our hands on those famous cupcakes. At the time there was such a fuss going on about them, we actually stood in the queue for over an hour and there was a limit on how many you could buy.

 

 
This time the fuss has been directed at the divine cronut, so there was a tiny queue inside the cupcake shop. We grabbed a whole load of them to share with our friends (OMG they are so expensive!!) and yes, they are still the most amazing cupcakes I have ever eaten – and I have eaten a LOT of cupcakes in my time – ahem. Just look at the photos, dribble and enjoy!


And have a Very Happy Valentine’s Day all you absolutely lovely people 🙂
