Magnolia Bakery is going to kick up their cupcake selection this holiday season with a Rockette Red Velvet Cupcake.  Will the leggy ladies be baking Magnolia’s famed treats?  Not quite, but the bakery

will be featuring the special showgirl-embossed cupcakes for the second year in a row at its Rockefeller Center locale during the annual Radio City Christmas Show running from Nov. 17-Dec. 31.

For years, tourists have flocked to Magnolia’s West Village location.  The bakery’s burst of fame came after it played a bit part in the hit television series, Sex in the City.  More recently, Magnolia opened up an Upper West Side branch on Columbus Ave. and 69th Street. Though Upper West Side customers will be able to purchase Magnolia’s regular red velvet cupcakes, the special tourist-friendly Rockette variety will only be sold at the Rockefeller Center locale.

Fashioned from red velvet cake and a whipped vanilla butter cream icing, the Rockette cupcakes will be sold during the Christmas Show’s entire run. Each cupcake is adorned with a dark chocolate medallion, imprinted with an image of a dancing Rockette. Customers who purchase one of the treats ($3.50), will get a discount voucher to be used against a Radio City Christmas show ticket.
