Prepare For A Sugar Rush, LA; Magnolia Cupcakes Is On Its Way
Non-New Yorkers might be familiar with Magnolia Bakery because of a certain SNL Digital Short, where Andy Samberg claimed to love their cupcakes "like McAdams loves Gosling," not to mention that some scenes in Sex and The City took place just outside. Their baked goods are famous local lore, with lines of buttercream enthusiasts consistently snaking out the front door, even in the blistering cold of winter, even if personally we think they are a little dry to be so famous.
Los Angeles is no stranger to the maniacal cupcake trend; bakeries like Crumbs Bake Shop and Sprinkles (and now, the distinct, chocolate-hued Sprinkles truck) have been feeding the city's sugar-starved masses for years now, and while they've earned solid reps of their own, Magnolia has a certain unshakeable appeal. Well, sweets fiends rejoice, because on a recent stroll down West Third Street, we came across a sign announcing that the New York institution is fast on its way to the Left Coast.
According to a report from Eater L.A., its arrival is set for January 2010. The space is large and empty for the time being, with a few scant construction materials on the inside and light streaming in through large windows. You may want to mentally and physically prepare for braving those famous lines and contending with antsy cupcake connoisseurs in the new year. With the westward migration, we wonder, will they join in on L.A.'s sweeping food truck craze? Time will tell, but we're satisfied with the developments we've seen so far.
