North America - United States of America - New York

Cupcakes are muffins coated with sugar fondant and they were created in the USA. This dessert has already spread throughout the world. What makes them more recognizable's the fondant coating -with a texture similar to that of modeling clay- decorating them. Their design can turn them into true works of culinary art. They're sold in all colors and flavors, sweet and salty, but the most popular ones in New York are the ones from Magnolia Bakery.
