the ladies i've met living in the city have all been bonkers, let me say that up front. one of the girls in our moms group had the idea to call up the magnolia bakery on the upper west side to see if they do bakery tours for kids. turns out, they do. and they're free! and then you get a cupcake at the end too, so, bonkers.
after many emails back and forth we were able to agree on a date and time. we made it out there the week before last. (we had so many in attendance we had to split up into two tour groups.) and i just want you to know . . . magnolia has a sprinkle closet. like, an entire closet for just sprinkles. pretty great.
demonstrating how to get that perfect magnolia frosting swirl. she did it for us four times and i still don't understand it.
frosting in a tub, yo.
thank you magnolia for the tour!
(you should definitely call up your local bakeries to see if they offer tours as well. it was so neat.)
that's such a cute idea touring a bakery! love it

ReplyDeletefrosting in a tub. i'm speechless.
so i'm guessing "bonkers" is a good thing? is that a ny term?
it has to be good if it gets your cupcakes, right?
That is amazing. and now I'm craving banana pudding.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I actually learned how to frost my cupcakes all pretty by watching Magnolia Bakery's tutorial videos on YouTube, haha.
