It was way too sweet and so much icing. I tried six flavors- too much commercialism. I also tried Crumbs- used to love it but not anymore. Perhaps- I need to discover one cupcake shop here in NY that is good. I prefer homemade, no preservatives and fresh. do you have any suggestions?rosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-5844037514110040042008-03-16T22:34:00.000-04:002008-03-16T22:34:00.000-04:00Oh yes, Magnolia is a must-see attraction in NYC. ...Oh yes, Magnolia is a must-see attraction in NYC.

It's inception arose from my love affair with lovely cakes, pastries - and the excuse to use and display as many beautiful tea and coffee cups as possible! Reading this post today brought me back to my little shop, always filled with pastel cupcakes, cakes, french pastries and cookies. Like Magnolia, I even had the lace curtains on the two front bay windows of my shop. <BR/>I can smell the sweet buttercream icing! <BR/>-Karen @brodiemojo@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-4277146094749484292008-03-13T05:51:00.000-04:002008-03-13T05:51:00.000-04:00I went to Magnolia Bakery with a friend last week ...I went to Magnolia Bakery with a friend last week and asked for a bag for my box which contained one cupcake and one mini cheesecake.

It was created by the famous SWISS chocolatier SUCHARD at the beginning of the 1900s, who wrapped it in the distinct lilac wrapping paper it has become known and loved for (the milk for the chocolate is produced by the lilac-spotted Milka Cow, grazing in some mystic valley high in the Alps *no kidding*).<BR/> <BR/>The Suchard company has since been acquired by KRAFT. Unfortunately, for some years now their milk chocolate does not taste like the one I remember anymore, apparently due to the addition of fats other than cocoa butter.Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-68158202541056164532008-03-13T02:45:00.000-04:002008-03-13T02:45:00.000-04:00Limiting the number of goodies you may purchase in...Limiting the number of goodies you may purchase in a pastry shop?
