Ms. B, an avid baker, suggested we visit
Magnolia Bakery during our lunch break from our teacher orientation yesterday. She knew there was a location was close to where we were (kind of near 59th St-Columbus Circle), but by the time we figured out the exact location (thanks to cell phones and Google), we were headed the wrong direction. With only an hour, we put off our dessert trip for the next day. Today, we left in the right direction, with no plan for our actual lunch food, but a definite plan for dessert!
Magnolia Bakery had it's moment in the spotlight in
Sex and The City, where the women go and enjoy the superb cupcakes. The Magnolia Bakery we visited today is not the actual bakery in the show (just a sister bakery - the original one is on Bleeker), yet it was still a delicious visit!
Ms. B enjoyed a cupcake, a favorite of hers - so much so that she bought extra to take home and enjoy later. She explained that the vanilla cupcakes are the best, and even though she has the recipe from a Magnolia Bakery Cookbook, she refuses to make them, because she only wants to be able to enjoy them in their perfection from the bakery! I think I might have to visit the Bleeker street location and try the cupcakes there... just as Carrie and Miranda do in Episode 35 as they discuss Carrie's new guy, Aidan.
I ordered cheesecake, a macadamia nut white chocolate cheesecake to be exact. I am very excited to find this place, one more place to add to the list of things to do in the City. It's especially nice because it's close to Central Park and can easily be squeezed in while on a park trip.
