How many times have you heard the words "Red Velvet Cupcake" in the last few years? If you live in New York City, you probably have heard of (and ate) them more than desired. 

Slowly, these moist little goodies have taken over dessert menus and cupcake stores are popping up at every street corner. In Manhattan alone, there are over 200 cupcake factories.

The cupcake industry impact over the past 15 years is remarkable. Magnolia, one of the most popular cupcake brands in Manhattan, opened in the summer of 1996 in Greenwich Village, New York.  Fourteen years later, Magnolia has changed ownership and added five more locations in New York City.
