Located in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, the near-shoebox-size Magnolia Bakery has become a destination for lovers of all-things sweet. The reason? From the beginning its owner Allysa Torey and her staff have offered cakes (and particularly cupcakes), pies, and other pastries that are utterly unpretentious but deeply satisfying in a grandmother-would-have-made-it-if-she-could-have way. More from Magnolia Torey’s second book, adds to her already impressive recipe roster 75 formulas that range from Pear Streusel Breakfast Buns, and Pumpkin Walnut Cookies with Brown Butter Frosting, to Chocolate Pecan Pudding Pie, and Old-Fashioned Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Included also are recipes for signature specialties like Magnolia’s Chocolate Cupcakes and famous banana pudding, plus a section on frostings and sauces. All are easy to do, even for beginning bakers, and all have the straightforward Magnolia appeal. –Arthur Boehm

Product Description:
A cupcake can change your life. Ever since Magnolia Bakery opened its doors in 1996, people have been lining up day and night to satisfy their sugar cravings — patiently waiting in line at the old-fashioned yet funky bake shop to buy cupcakes, layer cakes, pudding, and ice cream, much to the surprise and delight of owner Allysa Torey. Now, from the baker who brought cupcakes to everyone’s attention, come even more recipes from Greenwich Village’s favorite bakery and her home kitchen.

Whether it’s a birthday cake, weekend breakfast treats, or sweets for a bake sale, you’ll find simple and delicious recipes to delight family and friends on all occasions in More from Magnolia: Recipes from the World-Famous Bakery and Allysa Torey’s Home Kitchen. Beginning with the ever-popular cupcakes and frostings, you’ll find the much-requested recipes for the mouthwatering Magnolia’s Famous Banana Pudding and sinfully rich Red Velvet Cake with Creamy Vanilla Frosting, all with helpful hints that let you achieve the same sweet results as the bakery. In the well-loved Magnolia style, Allysa Torey brings you new twists on old favorites, such as Devil’s Food Cupcakes with Caramel Frosting, Peaches and Cream Pie with Sugar Cookie Crust, and Apple Tart with Hazelnut Brown Sugar Topping. You’ll also find breakfast treats like Cream Cheese Crumb Buns and Blueberry Coffee Cake with Vanilla Glaze; and afternoon snacks like Black Bottom Cupcakes, Walnut Brown Sugar Squares, and Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chip Cookies. From Banana Cake with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing to Heavenly Hash Ice Cream Pie, these are the desserts that Allysa makes for friends and family at home — unfussy, straightforward, and simply delicious.

Illustrated with eight pages of beautiful color photographs, as well as black-and-white stills that capture the daily life of the bakery, More from Magnolia is an irresistible collection of new classics that will inspire you to fill your kitchen with sweet things.

no pictures!! by Y. Muthafar
This is well written book about old fashion dessert recipes, the hints and tips are great if you have just started baking.

I gave it four stars just for the fact that it doesn’t have pictures to go along with the recipes, it only has a few pictures in the center.

So far i baked the following:

-Vanilla cupcakes > they are wounderful

-Chocolate cupcakes > light and yummy

-Hello dolly bars > maybe it was me but i didn’t like them at all

-Blondies with white and dark chocolate and walnuts > really liked them

-Peanut butter chocolate chip pecan cookies > great

-Black bottom cupcakes > so and so

-Apple cake with butterscotch cream cheese frosting > the best

I also made the white chocolate buttercream frosting and it was nice but what i really liked was the dark chocolate buttercream icing specially on the the vanilla cupcakes.

overall a really good book.

Crowd Pleaser by S. Galiza
This book has some outstanding recipes!!! And they taste just like the bakery itself…banana pudding…Yum-O :o). Thank you Magnolia <3

The only downside is the inches added to your waist…Be sure to squeeze in a good workout before baking anything from this book ;o).

yummy and easy! by Claire Browne
I’m pretty new to baking, this is actually the first recipe book i’ve ever bought and I am delighted! It’s really easy to follow and everything I’ve tried so far has come out great. Love the vanilla cupcakes and the raspberry creme cheese breakfast buns.

great cupcake recipe and icing by T. Wong
i made abt 4 recipes before posting - vanilla cupcake, chocolate cupcake, strawberry shortcake, black bottom cupcake, apple cake with butterscotch frosting and vanilla icing/buttercream. great blackbottomed and vanilla cupcake recipe. very good icing recipe. the choc cupcake was dry and tasteless — rather do the blackbottomed cupcake recipe without cream cheese as choc cupcake. very very basic cake recipes - heavy cakes with no sophisticated tastes. all the cakes rose very well but they were all flour-heavy and came out really heavy. they hold their shape well. i recommend the “cake bible” by rose for cakes instead. the strawberry shortcake in this book called for a 3 layered cake with whipped cream, if served a few hours before eating, the whipped cream does not hold up well. “the cabke bible” will take situations like these under advisement, which i have always appreciated.

very good for beginner bakers, very encouraging results. wonderfully written. it provides me with new ideas on baking :) but for more sophisticated tastes/scents/texture, go for an advanced book. :) the only reason i gave it 3 stars is because the recipes were a bit overly simplistic for my tastes. it is a good book for a quick bake (at nights for tomorrow’s events), instead of a nice cake taking a few days to assemble.
