Magnolia or Crumbs? Crumbs or Magnolia? It is such a pressing topic, as I'm sure you can imagine, that I find myself smack dab in the middle of cupcake banter at least once a week.
So here is my stance, once and for all:
OBVIOUSLY Crumbs, as faithful Keep It Tight readers should remember from an earlier post, is FAR better than Magnolia's. But my opinion's validity is plagued by my lack of multi-year experience, so I will borrow Rustin's validated view of the saga:
"Magnolia DOES have good banana bread pudding, though. If they just took their cupcakes and SOAKED them in the pudding, they might be edible."

I feel I need to weigh in on this matter. I had Crumbs, and I had Magnolia within the space of 24 hours. (Yep, I know, excessive.) And although Crumbs was delicious I was happier with the Magnolia cupcakes. They were more moist. I don't like dry cake.
BUT, when you come to DC, we found a place that has bigger cupcakes than the famous Georgetown Cupcakes and they're moist, AND they're a dollar cheaper than Georgetown. Now THAT is a good sign.
But, I'm planning on making an assessment of Crumbs and Magnolia next time I come.
oh my gosh! There is ABSOLUTELY no comparison when it comes to this topic. Crumbs is unbeatable. I find myself dreaming of them at night here in utah.
Crumbs, hands DOWN. the Magnolia cupcakes I tried were nothing special. And even a little dry. And the frosting was too sugary. Every time I've had Crumbs, every flavor I've tried, has been amazing.
crumbs. crumbs. crumbs. how dare you weigh your options!
I am the famed Rustin Reidhead. I approve this message.
only, it is banana pudding, not banana-bread pudding. Bread pudding is disgusting. BUT banana pudding is delicious. I i'm going to retract my validation of your quote until corrected.
Wish I knew which cupwake was which because I would vote for the larger one!
