Momofuku Is Taking Over the World - Next Up, Dessert

Is Magnolia out and Momofuku in? David Chang’s East Village Dynasty, Momofuku, is trying to conquer another course—dessert. Last Saturday, Momofuku Bakery and Milk Bar opened with a line 40 minutes long, people waiting to taste the newest piece of Chang’s greatness. Pastry chef Christina Tosi designed a diverse menu of shakes, soft serve, pies, cakes, and even flavored milks to make everyone go mad. Although Saturday Night Live might have hinted at the addictive power of cupcakes at Magnolia’s, Momofuku Bakery actually has a dessert called Crack Pie . It seems that Momofuku is confident that its guests will be coming back for more. Bloggers and New Yorkers are already laying claim to their favorite desserts.
