They’re obviously famous for their cupcakes, but Magnolia also puts that amazing buttercream to good use on wedding cakes. Their bakers are especially adept at beautiful textures, creating soft, flower petal effects and even taking on the challenge of ómbre frosting. In addition to the New York original, they now have locations in Chicago and Los Angeles.
