Magnolia bakery

I wasn’t a big fun of cupcake.  However, since I read an article about Magnolia bakery on Japanese weekly newspaper in New York, I was very interested to try it.   Magnolia bakery is originally located in downtown of New York City.  The bakery became very famous since it was featured on popular TV drama “Sex and the City”.  Their shop now is located in Los Angeles and Dubai too.  When I went to the Natural History Museum last week, I stopped at one of their shop in Grand Central Station.  I personally didn’t like American cake.  It is hard to find good pastry in the USA.  Even it is three or more stars restaurant’s pastry had never satisfied me.  Therefore, honestly, I didn’t really expect it would be good.  I tried a cupcake called Japan cupcake and Chocolate cupcake. (I shared with my son.) They were both surprisingly amazing!! The sponge cake was soft and fluffy (I don’t like wet and heavy kind of sponge cake). The icing was stunningly rich and not too sweet.   I had never had a cupcake which made me so happy.  There is a famous cupcake bakery shop called “Crumbs” in Westport and it is also originated from NYC. I was really disappointed when I eat their cupcake a few months ago.  In contrast, Magnolia bakery’s cupcakes are truly great!

  2. I really don't like too much cup cakes or any kind of sweet. However, about the American pastries I agree with you. In my case is this,in fact the Colombian bakeries here are very different than in Colombia. I really miss Colombian bakery. I got the conclusion that in my case is the ingredients used here because some day I tried to do a cake I used to do in Colombia and I followed the recipe but it was so different.
