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!

Wow I care about this Korean guy take on an issue. I want to learn more.
Damn. I want to try one of those cupcakes. Even if it’s $3, worth just trying it, at least once. I’ll keep the name in mind, next time I end up in NYC. I bet they have other delicious pastries to.
those cupcakes are delicious.
Those must have been some damn good cupcakes :3
Well, $3 is not that expensive for a pastry in the States. And these are big and amazing quality cakes.
I think it certainly is, because if you go to shoprite or something, they sell a 6-pack for $5 or less. So if you do the math.. $3 a cupcake half the size of a shoprite brand… it’s expensive.
sone expensive ass cpcakes niggaz
Having once worked in a commercial bakery where they crank out those disgusting cupcakes that are $5.00 for 6, I can tell you that the “frosting” comes out of a big industrial vat, and it is nothing but partially hydrogenated YUCK with sugar and tons of food coloring. I’d gladly pay $3.00 for a real cupcake any day. Right on, Magnolia!
I’ll keep the name in mind, next time I end up in NYC.
Well, they are good, but not THAT good. Just good and very expensive indeed!
