Magnolia Bakery, New York City

You have to try their red velvet cup cake. We waited 15 minutes to get in. At this point of my trip, I was convinced there is a good treat at the end of every long or short queue. We chose a banana, walnuts, pineapple cupcake, a flour less brownie and a red velvet cupcake.

If you are lucky you may get to see a baker or two icing the cake.
