It could be the way of the future! (Fingers crossed!)

To celebrate American Ballet Theatre’s production of “Firebird” (June 11–13, 21–23), NYC’s Magnolia Bakery is whipping up a delectable orange date cupcake with orange meringue buttercream frosting, dubbed the Firebird Cupcake. Available for the rest of June, the Firebird Cupcake can only be found at the bakery’s 200 Columbus Ave location at 69th street, mere steps from Lincoln Center. Think you can run fast enough to grab a ballet-themed confection during intermission? We plan to find out.
