Magnolia Bakery

I'm back and living it up in Wellesley, Massachusetts! "It ain't a girl's school without men, it's a women's college without boys". "If you're dating a Wellesley girl, raise your hand, if you aren't, raise your standards". I can go all day.

So over Fall Break, I visited a few friends in New York. We ventured all over, eating our way through New York City over the couple of days (Alice's Teacup, Amorino's, Shake Shack, Rice to Riches, which I highly recommend).

Sunday night, we stopped by Magnolia Bakery before heading to the UCB Theater to watch Taran Killam, Bobby Moynihan, and others perform. The line was long, as expected, but the workers were super friendly. We squeezed inside and I ordered a simple red velvet cupcake and the magic cookie bar. The magic cookie bar is reminiscent of Girl Scout samoas, but definitely more scrumptious. If you need a quick fix of anything coconut and chocolate, it'll get the job done. The cupcake was nothing exceptional, probably because Julia dropped it on the subway ground. The cake itself was fine, not as moist as I liked it, but edible. Even so, the frosting was delicious, smooth, creamy, and fluffy. Not too sweet either. Unfortunately, most of the frosting flopped onto the grime-covered grounds of the New York subway.

But I enjoyed it nonetheless.
