Magnolia Bakery is featuring several specialty cupcakes, all with meringue in the icing.

The first is the Flourless Chocolate Cupcake with Vanilla Bean Meringue Buttercream frosting. What a unique and delicious combination. You can see the actual vanilla beans in the frosting (see photo). Each one costs $4.00.

The second is the Snickerdoodle Cupcake: Light cinnamon cake with meringue icing, dusted with cinnamon sugar. Snickerdoodle is one of Magnolia’s Fall specialties. Each costs $3.50.

The third is the Sno-Cap Cupcake: Devil’s Food Cake with Meringue Icing. The icing is stacked just like a snow-cap. Each costs $3.50.

All three are fun and delicious, and probably fewer calories due to the meringue. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.
