While we can admit that we're not the biggest fans of the extremely popular sugary concoctions (cupcakes) that Magnolia Bakery puts out, we are on the other hand, fans of their bars and squares. Yes, the cupcake movement has taken over New York City, but there's no doubt that this establishment still holds the market share with the longest lines.

"The Complete Magnolia Bakery Cookbook" consists of recipes for muffins, quick breads, coffee and Bundt cakes, cookies, brownies and bars, cupcakes and layer cakes, icings, cheesecakes, pies, tarts and ice creams. Whew. Chances are if you've ever seen it in the front window of the bakery, the secret to that recipe lies in this book, along with some new recipes from Allysa Torey's home kitchen.

See what we tested and find out whether the book's worth buying after the jump.

Food Porn: Chocolate cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles

What could be better than a cupcake? It is an individually-sized cake serving that fits into your hand and is topped with a generous amount of gooey, sugary icing. A cupcake is not really complete until it has also been topped with a generous amount of sprinkles, and the Skinny Epicurean did not let that fact escape her when she made a batch of Magnolia Bakery's Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing. Using the recipe from the famous New York bakery's cookbook, she put out a batch of the most beautiful cupcakes I have seen. Maybe it's the lure of those rainbow sprinkles, but I wouldn't mind making a batch myself just to get a taste! She has the full recipe on her blog.

Tip of the Day

December may have peppermint bark, but have you thought to incorporate the taste of autumn into white chocolate with a rich pumpkin swirl?
