Strong Buzz reports a Private Room for Cupcakes at UWS Magnolia

Food blogger Andrea Strong of the Strong Buzz reports that the relatively new Upper West Side branch of Magnolia Bakery now has a private room available for cupcake events, both for kids and adults:

Lovers of cupcakes, hold onto your frosting. Magnolia Bakery has opened a private party room in its Upper West Side space (which is certified kosher), setting the stage for kids (and adults too, who are we kidding) to get together and celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or just a passion for buttercream.

The space can accommodate up to 35 adults for a cocktail party and 24 for a seated event. Rental costs start at $500 for two hours and include a choice of two-dozen cupcakes or one of the bakery’s delectable cakes.

The Children’s Party Package ($750 for 90 minutes) includes a personalized Magnolia cake, as well as pizza, juice, milk and cupcakes and, most importantly, fun for twelve children (as well as treats, coffee and tea for the adults)!

Staff-led activities include:
--Design Your Own Chef Hat
--Make Your Own Colored Sprinkles
--Cupcake Icing with Magnolia’s signature frosting

Each child takes home-customized Magnolia goody bag filled with three jars of Magnolia hand-colored sprinkles, a mini-baking utenstil set, and mini cupcake pan.

Magnolia Bakery on the UWS is located at 200 Columbus Avenue, corner of 69th Street, 212-724-8101.


Sounds like a lot of fun!

$750 for a kid's b-day party?
Ouch!
How many kids? Probably 8. Just like the invitation packages you can buy. But why 8? Why not 10? Or 12? The table setting is usually for 8, so maybe that's why...
