The Magnolia swirl is definitely very hard to learn. It takes over 40 hours to learn. It took me a while to actually get that perfect swirl down. The key to getting the perfect swirl is the buttercream, the texture. It's all in the wrist.

Oh my gosh, these are way too pretty. I don't even know if I can eat them. Okay, which one do we start with? Which one's the prettiest?

Magnolia Bakery

I don't know. I think this one is the prettiest. Okay, so we'll do a vanilla first.

Young Hollywood

Okay, we'll do vanilla first. So go on in. All right.

You will be tasting our vanilla, vanilla cupcake. And then we do offer the vanilla with the rose petal cake on top.

Honestly, it's too pretty to eat. Heaven in a cupcake, right here. Oh my gosh. And the icing, you know how sometimes it's too thick? Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Again, I think this is well worth the sacrifice. A piece of art, a piece of edible art, really.
