Magnolia bakery visits from Carrie and the girls from Sex and the City made them fashionable. Even here in L.A. Watch the oohs and aahs when you bring a box of Dots with their colorful polka dot boxes into a room or the lovely little purple boxes from Violets. How about a visit to Auntie Em’s for the biggest red velvet cupcake? Such a trend phenomenon that the New York Times runs a feature on them almost every week! What is great about the cupcake, is that it can be decorated in keeping with your taste and becomes a fashion object in its own right. With the Holiday Season here and you need a quick hostess gift why not a cupcake? For more cupcake love click here.
