Magnolia Bakery
February 23rd, 2010 by catalina
During our apartment search in October, Juan and I took a break and ate some cookies and hot cocoa at Magnolia Bakery and I immediately fell in love with the place.
Magnolia’s charm, color palette and decor is beautiful, warm, welcoming and relaxing – AND the cookies, cupcakes and hot cocoa are delicious!
So once we moved to NYC and settled in, I approached the owner of Magnolia Bakery and asked if I could take some photos of the place and capture its charm with my camera and she was kind enough to give me a few hours at the Columbus Street locale.
As I told her later, I felt like a kid in a candy store photographing the place – literally.
Zack Arias (one of my favorite photographers) once said that each photo shoot prepares you for the next shoot. I honestly felt that my 5 years of editorial food photography at Creative Loafing prepared me well for this shoot. Both the owners and I were pleased with the end results.
Here’s a slide show I made, and following that are some of my favorite images. Do you like cupcakes as much as I do?
and they sell the cutest aprons at Magnolia Bakery too!

Caty-
These are absolutely stunning! I love the color palette as well. So rich and warm– and sugary too!
I’m mentally visualizing a place in my house for the last one. I may have to order a print from you soon! Get that etsy site up, girl!! xoxox.

Loved all the photos, but my favorite was the one with the aprons.

Caty, great pics. When I worked in Manhattan, my boss used to send me to Magnolia all the time to pick up cupcakes for the break room. It was one of my favorite assignments!

What delicate and loving pictures!
You did a great job; wish I could just drop in at the
Magnolia Bakery and see the colours myself.
