Cupcake Heaven

I recently received an email from my sister letting me know that Magnolia Bakery has opened in LA. So excited! I have a true love for cupcakes and Magnolia Bakery cupcakes are one of my favorites.

Last fall I was in NYC and Magnolia Bakery was top on my list to visit. Their cupcakes were delicious!

I love the colored tubs of frosting. Mmm...I would love to take one of those home!

Not only am I drooling over the cupcakes but their decor is so cute and fun. I love the checkered floor and the mint colored walls.

Cute signage too!

For a few days last week they were shut down. But don't worry, the closing had to do with mechanical and technical problems, not health code.

This holiday weekend I'm going to my sister's place in Santa Monica. We will definitely make a trip to the bakery for one of their famous cupcakes.

I hope they make their way down to the OC in the future. Huntington Beach doesn't have any cupcake bakeries. At least not coastal Huntington. How is that possible with the cupcake craze? Well, I guess I'll just have to travel for my cupcakes for now!

Have a sweet Labor Day weekend!
