cupcakes make me happy

Remember the episode of Sex in the City where Carrie had the yummy cupcake with pink icing and the daisy on it?

Well they are from a little shop in Greenwich Village called

Magnolia Bakery.

Since their debute on Sex in the City they now have 4 bakeries in NYC

People are lining up for these things!

And for good reason

Not only are they pretty, but super yummy.

I made Rob wait in line to try these....he was initial response was

"I'm not waiting in line for a $10.00 cupcake".....

YEAH RIGHT

First they were not $10, we got 2 cupcakes a coffee, and a shopping bag (just had to buy one), plus the box (yeah you had to buy them too), for $10.00

Money well spent while we sat on the edge of a fountain enjoying these. I had the "carrie" (right), and he had the red velvet(left).

I've been trying to learn the technique to decorate like they do on youtube.....

so when I made cupcakes for my sons class on Sunday I gave it a whirl.....

or should I say SWHIRL....LOL

Well one failed attempted....better luck next time.

None the less, if you go to NYC you have to have a cupcake from Magnolia. Really the wait wasn't that bad....certainly worth it.

thanks for stopping by,

and yes I saved the box so I could scrap this. lol
