Magnolia Bakery
This is it, folks — the one that started it all. Magnolia Bakery is often credited with kicking off the cupcake craze way back when, thanks to a Sex in the City reference. Magnolia's iconic cupcakes are frosted in their classic pastel color palette and decorated with hand-colored sprinkles, making them instantly recognizable in a crowd. The Daily Meal questions the wisdom of offering a red velvet cake without cream cheese frosting (though it is an option if you request it), and advises you to go for the Hummingbird instead a banana, pineapple and pecan cake with sweet cream cheese icing, topped with toasted pecans. — Marilyn He, 11/8/2012

The famous bakery made famous from Sex and the City. You can't go wrong with any dessert here but we love the bread pudding! -
Can anyone say Red Velvet cupcakes???? Oh My God.... (Christopher loves them) When Al and I are in the city it's a definite stop. -Caroline Manzo, Real Housewives of NJ -
The bakery that began the cupcake craze is still the best. We suspect its the lick-your-fingers-to-get-the-last-bit-of-butter-cream frostings and fillings. They do a mean banana pudding too. -
Skip the cupcakes and get banana pudding instead. -
Cupcakes are so 2002, kick it up a notch and splurge for the banana pudding! Renee, Setup Squad -
The best Cup cake in NYC -
i don't know what the big deal is here. everything is very average. customer service is horrible. the only good thing is the bananna pudding. -
Walk down the street eating your vanilla cupcake and make all the shopping skinny bitches jealous -
This is the original location. And just to reiterate what 90% of the tips already say...get the banana pudding w/ nilla wafers. Cupcakes are better elsewhere. -
Sorry "Sex and the City" fans: The cupcakes at this place are overrated. The banana pudding, however, is fabulous. -
Sure, the cupcakes are classic, but the banana pudding is the real treat here.
-
The cupcakes here are known for their airy buttercream frosting (and cameo in Sex and the City). -
Stand outside the air vent (on 11th, just west of Bleecker corner), which gives you that strong taste sensation, calorie-free. Warning: fuels cupcake-dreams in the wee hours of the morning... -
Legendary cupcakes, absolutely get the Red Velvets! Well worth standing in line for this New York classic. -
Red velvet at midnight -
Red velvets? Noob. Get the banana pudding. -
After a little banana pudding (OMG! It has nilla wafers in it!), go see where the magic began and visit the Juicy Couture Bleecker Street store! -
I have had way better cupcakes but their banana pudding is the best thing you will eat! -
Fantastic banana pudding. -
The cupcake are overrated. Order the Banana Pudding and experience pure bliss.
