Sumptuous Shops | Cupcakes

The best cupcake to date, in my opinion, is from a wonderful bakery in New York City called Magnolia. People line up for these delights and can only buy a maximum of 6 at a time (larger orders need to be placed in advance). The vanilla ones are light, fluffy, and full of flavor. The sweetness of the icing is just right and they have cute little sprinkles on the surface. Every time Marcelo and I are in NYC, we pay Magnolia a visit (or two or three).

Today I checked out Cupcakes on Denman Street. Although the name of the shop is a little boring, the cupcakes from this place were pretty good. I tried a chocolate cupcake


with caramel inside and caramel icing. It exceeded my expectations and I will probably go there again...but Magnolia's in NYC has stolen my heart for good. If you want to try out their recipe, you can find it in the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook or here at 52 Cupcakes.
