I remembered It was one hot day in New York City. After having our family brunch at Rockefeller Center, we decided to make a stop at the popular Magnolia Bakery as seen on the movie, Sex and The City. It is located at 1240 Sixth Avenue on the corner of 49th street and 6th ave.

The first thing we saw when we stepped in was the long line. However, the combination of pastel colors used to decorate the bakery and the delicious smell of buttery cake wafting through the air gave me that calming feeling after a sweaty walk along 6th ave and helped convey a feel of a homely place.
Being in a neighborhood of main plazas, commercials, and shopping malls, this Magnolia location is always packed with tourists and those work in the area
I was impressed by the decor and ambiance of the store
After a 15 min wait, we finally ordered half a dozen of cupcakes: 2 Chocolate, 2 Red Velvet, and 2 Carries.The Red Velvet was delectable. It was light and it had a cream cheese frosting that was smooth. My dad had the Chocolate and he said that it made a good snack after a long summer walk but sadly the taste was forgettable.
The Carries, on the other hand, was unforgettable. They were amazing and the floral design on the cupcake was too pretty to eat. Carrie cupcakes are vanilla cakes topped with pink vanilla buttercream frosting and sugar daisy, inspired by the character Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City. They were really fresh (out of the oven fresh), fluffy, light, melted in the mouth, just the right amount of sweetness, plus spectacular topping. Magnolia Bakery is definitely one of my favorite places in New York to go to when you crave for something sweet. I'd recommend it to anyone visiting NY to have a bite of Carrie. :).
