THE CUPCAKES ARE BETTER THAN ANY OTHER CUPCAKE YOU'LL FIND IN MANHATTAN. the overhyped Magnolia bakery has cupcakes with dry cake and great icing. Make My Cake has great, moist cake and perfect icing at half the price of the rip-off Magnolia cakes.

Best cupcakes

The cupcakes are super moist and the icing is delish. My only problem is the nickel and diming crap they do to you in terms of value and service. First of all the "cold" beverage fridge is kept at a sweltering 60 degrees (the digital readout is clearly visible) so all drinks are warm and if you want a cup of ice, they charge 75 cents, which is ridiculous. Also, they charge you for the plastic to-go containers for your cupcake, and if you don;t buy one, half of the icing on your cupckae ends up on the inside of the bag.
