A quick note in reference to the 3 different Magnolia Bakery treats I tasted today - Magnolia Bakery is incredibly overrated. The cake frostings are excruciatingly sweet, you almost have to cough to allow yourself to breath after swallowing a bite. The cake itself, both vanilla and devils food, is tasteless and dry. To step out of my zone I tried the coconut cake - the meringue frosting made me reminiscent of the good old cream cheese frosting that made me start loving coconut cake in the first place. My advice: skip the line wrapping around the block for these treats and walk straight to the chocolate shop on West 10th and Bleecker for a quick sweet fix.

Good job - straight to the point and informative. we need more entries like this one.
Your homemade cupcakes set the bar pretty high!
Thousands of people can't be wrong... The success of their business is a testament to how good their cupcakes must be. Just because one person's taste is different doesn't mean that we should condemn the Magnolia bakery. I have baked their cupcakes using their recipe and the recipe for their icing and everyone raves about them.
