A beloved landmark of New York's charming West Village, Magnolia Bakery opened its first international location in Dubai in February 2010 as part of Bloomingdale's Home-Dubai, The Dubai Mall. The original Bleecker Street bakery opened in 1996 and is often credited with starting the modern day cupcake craze with its signature pastel-colored buttercream-frosted versions. Synonymous with cupcakes, Magnolia Bakery creates everything fresh from scratch on premises, all day, every day, using the finest ingredients and specializes in classic American baked goods including red velvet cake, icebox cake and banana pudding.
