I wandered lonely as a cloud/That floats on high o'er vales and hills/Till someone peeled away my wrap/And held me snug, and had his fill.
Not on an empty stomach, mind you, or that cloud would've had company. Vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting ($2.25).

I find Magnolia's cupcakes absolutely horrendous, not quite light. That stiff sugary frosting weighs you right back down to Earth.
For really good cupcakes, I prefer Sugar Sweet Sunshine in LES. Their frosting treads the very delicate ratio of butter and sugar.
