The Most Expensive Cupcakes I’ve Ever Had

As I walked out of my room, I saw a box on the kitchen table. It was a very plain looking, white colored box. I opened it and saw cupcakes. Just four left out of six.

Now, a little thing about me; I don’t like pastries. So I nonchalantly grabbed a bowl of rice and started eating my everyday meal.

After the dinner, I look at the box again. I could’ve used some kind of dessert because the gogi (meat) and rice didn’t fill me up.

The cupcakes were all cut up into four pieces. Four cupcakes, four pieces of each cupcake. Two chocolatey cupcakes and two “regular-looking” cupcakes. They all had a ton of frosting.

I took out a fork (yes, Koreans not only use chopsticks, we also have forks for these kind of occasions) and took a bite of the chocolate cupcake with fudge frosting. I have to say, the cupcake was delicious. I’ll take another step and say it was the best cupcake I’ve ever had. As a matter of fact, every single one of those cupcakes tasted better than any other cupcake I’ve tasted in my life.

I take a look at the box and read, “Magnolia Bakery,” and I’m thinking, “I’ve never heard of this place in my life, but it tastes so goooood~.” After trying out each of the cupcakes, I ask my mom where the cupcakes came from.

She told me that my sister went to the city (NYC) today and bought them. At $3 per cupcake.

When I heard the price of the cupcakes, one thing came in my mind. “WTF?”

I would personally NEVER, EVER pay $3 for a cupcake (let alone buy 6), but I have to hand it to the Magnolia Bakery; they were very good. Now this is just my own opinion, and you don’t have to try their cupcakes out because I said they were the best cupcakes I’ve ever had. After all, I’m just one Korean guy.

Magnolia Bakery - Just look at the line! I hear it's supposedly PACKED ALL THE TIME!
