More Trouble...

So this one is a little more serious. They have opened a Magnolia Bakery right across the street from Del Frisco's!!! Literally... 49th and sixth avenue, just opposite corners. I have no idea when it opened, it just appeared there one day. I first noticed a long line of people in suits... then I realized they were all waiting for cupcakes.

So here goes the usual "cupcake review." It is a lot like the first chain location (upper west side on columbus) not as "west village"--- newer look and a lot more space in the kitchen.

Negative: you do not get to pick out your cupcakes. They are behind glass, and you tell the cupcake person what flavors you want. That means you get no say in sprinkles unless you want to be "that high maintenance customer who holds up the line."

Positive: cold milk in cartons!

Positive: They have new boxes that hold two cupcakes and even have holders. The usually 4-cupcake boxes only work if you have 4 cupcakes and, even then, they get pretty messy in the box. No longer!

But who are we kidding... how many times am I going to be able to leave Magnolia with only 2 cupcakes?!
