Apart from toothsome cupcakes, Magnolia Bakery is known for its hypnotic dessert displays

When Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) discussed her situationship with Miranda over a cupcake – little did the cupcake know, it was set to travel the world. This sequence from ‘Sex and the City’, an American comedy-drama – is all it took for Magnolia Bakery to switch from a quaint corner in New York into a zealot cult stormed by global patrons.

Come tomorrow, i.e., November 1 – the bakery throws its floors open to pastry lovers in Bandra, Mumbai. As someone who devours cakes with uber loyalty, this writer was drawn to test the batters at the bakery (pun intended!).

The moment you walk in, you`re cocooned in an aromatic hug of freshly baked buns. Cinnamon laces the air with its spicy, earthy notes, adding depth to the olfactory experience. With sun-soaked air, a hypnotic dessert display and ample space to breathe in – the bakery is a one-off, putting an end to the perpetual queues encountered at popular Bandra bakeries.

New York`s aesthetics meet Bandra’s charm
Khaiber Siddiqui, the designer of the bakery, tells Midday, “With convenient seating options across two floors, the ground floor, and mezzanine, we`ve expanded the seating area to accommodate more guests.” Frankly, an 80-seater spread over 2300 sq. ft. offers more than enough room to frolic around and bask in the warmth of cocoa effortlessly.

Siddiqui informs how the interiors of Magnolia derive inspiration from Bandra’s neighbourhood. “We`ve predominantly employed a white and green colour scheme with a custom-made floral pattern ceiling in white.”
