Product Description:
On the corner of Bleecker and Eleventh Streets in the heart of Greenwich Village sits the Magnolia Bakery. This unassuming shop, where the smells of home-style baking weaken even the strongest will, has attracted a clientele that ranges from kids on their way home from school to celebrity glitterati. Cupcakes swirled with pastel frosting crowd the counter, and cakestands display Lemon Vanilla Bundt Cake, Apple Walnut Cake with Caramel Cream Cheese Icing, and Coconut Layer Cake, swathed in fluffy white frosting and covered in drifts of coconut. As Time Out New York says: “The secret to Magnolia’s success is simple: Nobody knows how to bake like this anymore.”
Magnolia’s owners Jennifer Appel and Allysa Torey know how, and in The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook they share their most mouth-watering recipes, from sweet breakfast treats like Dried-Cherry Crumb Buns to classic Iced Molasses Cookies, from decadently rich Caramel Pecan Brownies and Raspberry Marzipan Cheesecake to refreshing Lemon Icebox Pie. Their easy-to-follow recipes and invaluable baking hints mean that even the inexperienced baker will be able to frost the perfect layer cake, turn out the flakiest pie crust, and whip up the creamiest cheesecake. Illustrated with eight pages of glorious color photographs, The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook will inspire you to turn on the oven and create sweet memories for your family and friends.

Perfect recipes for delicious goodies by Mrs. Laura K. Snead
This cookbook has some wonderfully basic recipes that will be at the top of your list when looking for something really good to bake. My daughter has this and had baked the white birthday cake out of it for my granddaughter’s birthday. It was so moist and really excellent. We use it for all birthday celebrations now. One doesn’t feel special if any other cake is presented! The recipes are not difficult but the results taste like you have slaved for hours. This is a sure winner and I guarantee it will make you look great in the eyes of those you cook for.
Good but not the same as the real Magnolia by Eclectic Shopper
I bought this bakebook for the vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing, just as they sell at Magnolia. Everytime I’m in the city I like to stop at Magnolia (or my new recent favorite cupcake eatery Buttercup)and eat a delicious treat. However, these cupcakes are definitely not the “real deal.” The recipes require tweaking. The cupcakes are too dry when made according to recipe. The icing, had I used all of the sugar the recipe called for, would be cavity rot on a cupcake. I used 1/2 the sugar that the recipe called for and found that to be the perfect amount for the perfect icing. For these reasons, I am giving it 3 stars. It’s good, but not quite perfect.
The best cake recipe… by Winnifred
Cute lil cook book full of fun recipes from one of America’s favorite bakeshops. It really is just grandma’s recipes, but perfected and increased in serving size. I love this book because I love Magnolia Bakery and their white cake recipe, but if you are looking for a single baking book for your kitchen or a beautiful gift - this book isn’t quite at that level. I do, however, love the lil stories that are included with each recipe - how its this customer’s favorite or how they first started making it…cute, cute, cute!
