Product Description
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.

Format:Hardcover
This book gets a one star rating because I expected much more from this book. There are only 8 pages of colour photos, and the rest are black and white. I like to see a picture of each recipe in colour so I know what the final product should look like but not all the recipes include a picture in fact very few do. Also, if you are looking for secrets regarding their infamous cupcakes you can get the recipe for the cupcake and frosting online for free. So don't bother buying the book if that is your sole reason for making the purchase. The delicious looking cover tempts you but there isn't anything special inside the pages. I would pass this one.

I was given this as a present and was disapointed by the presentation- there are very few images. But decided to give the recipes a go anyway. Each cake that I have made has turned out perfectly and they are to die for. The spiced apple cake, blue berry cake ( the icing tastes like liquid icecream mmm) and carrot cake last about two minutes in my house they are that good. I made the the red velvet cake for a birthday and although the photo is horribly garish, my version of the cake was stunning! So if you love great cakes and like the idea of a great surprise as you open the oven this book is definately for you.

Lovely book and great cakes. The toppings are too much and too sweet (and I have a sweet tooth) so make half mixture described.

Nice book. I found many useful recipes. I would prefer some more pictures for every recipe separately. Measurement in metric system is useful as well.
