My son Maxime came for Dinner, last night, with his friend Dylan. We had a great meal. We started with a Roasted Pear Salad with Chèvre and Fig Vinaigrette followed by a Chicken Curry and a good bottle of Ménage à Trois a red wine from California.
Dylan was in New York during the week-end and went to Magnolia Bakery to buy dessert for Dinner. He then carefully boarded his flight with the treats in a nice Magnolia Bakery bag. That was really nice of him. I have heard of Magnolia Bakery before but never had the chance to go. I will make sure I do on my next trip to New York. I have the cookbook but never baked from it yet. Last night we tasted the Vanilla, Red Velvet and Chocolate Cupcakes. All three were light and moist. I will be baking soon from the cookbook. Will probably try the Magnolia Vanilla Cupcakes with the Vanilla Buttercream first.
In February I traveled to Vegas with my two oldest and then to Orlando with my youngest son. Will do some reviews on Vegas soon.

When I worked in NYC, people would bring in these cupcakes to celebrate birthdays, etc. and they were always irresistible.
I have read about Magnolia Bakery as well. It is one of those places you just have to try.
I've heard of Magnolia bakery and always wondered ;). Sunds like you've been having the best of times. So glad for you!
Ive heard so much abuot Magnolia Bakery. The frosting on those cupcakes look so good and thick!
I have read so much about these too! Lucky you.
Sounds like a really great meal to me and those cupcakes look very special and wonderful. How fun!
they do look delicious these cookies... and the whole meal sounded great! Giorgia & Cyril
I've read about these cupcakes many times, but keep forgetting to ask my daughter to take me there when next I visit. You're lucky to have their cookbook....I should put it on my wish list!
It sounds like a lovely meal and the cupcakes look delicious.I'm sure you'll enjoy the cookbook when you have time to get to it. Have a great evening. Blessings...Mary
They look darling, esp the lavender-purple one. I've never had a Magnolia Bakery cupcake...
I've never had a cupcake from the bakery, though I've made several things from the book - vanilla cupcakes were amazing, as was the carrot cake frosting.
These look too pretty to eat.
The vanilla Magnolia Cupcakes is the only recipe I use when making cupcakes. It is so reliable and delicious. I have to give their red velvet cake recipe a try in the near future.

I went to New York and chose babycakes while jennifer went to magnolia. She hasn't let me finish hearing about it since (my cupcake wasn't that good).
How sweet of your son's friend to bring cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery for dessert! Such a treat.
