Magnolia Bakery opened its first branch in 1996 in NYC’s West Village. It shot to fame after a 30-second clip in Sex and The City where Carrie and Miranda were eating cupcakes outside the store.

The Manila branch will be serving Magnolia favorites, of course the cupcakes and cakes, as well as the banana pudding, brownies, lemon cakes, muffins and blueberry-flavored desserts. We are looking forward! xx
