Magnolia Bakery is widely credited with kicking off the worldwide cupcake trend, thanks in large part to Carrie and Mirandaā€™s shout-out to the heavily frosted mini cakes on “Sex and the City.”

In the movie 2005 “Prime” with Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep, the shop also makes repeat appearances as the supplier of baked goods for one of the characters who throws pies at his ex-girlfriends.

Meanwhile, itā€™s not the first fashion-dessert collaboration of its kind.
