Best banana pudding around

We ordered 60 banana puddings in mason jars with our custom monogram on the lid for our wedding reception.
The ordering process was so simple, everything was delivered on time and all our guests were absolutely obsessed with them.
We’ve love Magnolia’s banana pudding for years!

You Cannot Beat Classic Magnolia Bakery Cupcakes for Your Wedding!

I LOVE cupcakes. So it only made sense to have a cupcake tower instead of a classic cake for our wedding. Our wedding venue actually included a cake or cupcakes in the wedding package- but come the tasting, all of us there were in agreement that the house made ones were pretty awful! Luckily we still had about 2 months until our wedding so after a bit of back and forth trying to find the correct Magnolia bakery (only some of them handle wedding orders) and manager to speak with (Shenequa helped us out and she was amazing), we placed our Magnolia cupcake order. We were able to choose the flavors we wanted, customize the icing colors and decorations to match our theme, and they were even able to include some gluten-free cupcakes for our gluten free guests! Although I did not personally receive the order day-of, our venue did, everything appeared to arrive on time and in good condition. New Yorkers know and love Magnolia Bakery (full disclosure: especially me) so you really can't go wrong!

Tasted as good as it looked!!

The cake looked beautiful and tasted amazing! Their customer service was outstanding and we felt really special throughout the entire process from tasting to the wedding day. Pricing was pretty competitive too!

All of our guests are still talking about how terrific our cake was! Magnolia Bakery was our first - and only! - stop for cake tastings about 8 months before our wedding. Everything from the presentation at our tasting to the attention to detail for creating each tier of our cake was amazing. Everything showed up on time and perfectly, and working with Shenequa + her team was a breeze! Definitely the best cakes in NYC!

Brooklyn the caterer at Magnolia's went above and beyond to ensure my wedding went smoothly! She kept in great contact with me when I wasn't available, and kept my order perfect to how I wanted it! Plus, she and her team stayed late for me at their catering location so so could get the cake myself all the way from Monmouth county, New Jersey! Thank you for the most delicious, perfect, decadent cake ever!!!!

Crystal Gardens at Navy Pier in Chicago, IL has a longstanding relationship with Magnolia's Chicago location, so if you use Magnolia for your Crystal Gardens event you get a great deal. To top it off, Magnolia (regardless of location) is absolutely delicious. I have had their stuff both in NYC and Chicago, and it's heavenly every time. For our wedding, the wonderful Stephanie was our contact person at Magnolia. She prepared a beautiful tasting with us, looked over designs, spent a lot of time emailing ideas and quotes back and forth until we figured out exactly what we wanted: a two-tiered sparkle cake with a gazillion mini sparkle cupcakes. AMAZING!!! SO beautiful, so delicious (their Hummingbird flavor is the best!!!), and so easy to work with! Thanks Stephanie at Magnolia!

I lived near the original Magnolia in the West Village for 20 years so I always dreamed of having them do my wedding cake. But I was getting married an hour outside NYC, and my venue provided a free cake, so I thought fine, I'll use the free place. I went to a tasting and it was gross--"buttercream" frosting that was actually Crisco. (I know shortening holds up well at room temp, but I hate the taste.) I tried another bakery in NJ, figuring Magnolia was too far away . Also gross. So I finally did what I should have done in the first place--I called Magnolia. It turns out they deliver in a refrigerated truck to my venue all the time (for a fee.) And after talking to other bakeries who were chaotic and seemed like they'd never handled a wedding before, our contact, Brooklyn, at Magnolia was SO organized. She had it down to a science. She set up a lovely tasting for us at the Upper West Side location, with a lace tablecloth. We got to chose flavors for three mini cakes (and bring the leftovers home with us). We were trying to decide between getting a big tiered wedding cake, and doing a bunch of little cakes as a buffet. Brooklyn gave us tons of options and suggestions on what cakes/sizes would work for a buffet and even with the $100/hour delivery fee and a small fee for cute polka dot decorations on two cakes, we came in on budget! We got a chocolate cake, a vanilla cake, a banana cake, a carrot cake, and banana pudding shots, plus we rented cake stands to display it all. It was not only gorgeous but SO DELICIOUS. Our guests died over how good it all was. If you are getting married within an hour or so of NYC, Magnolia is the only way to go! Totally worth it! Ask for Brooklyn, she will make it all go smoothly.
