Hit tv series 'Downton Abbey' is about to become a feature film and [Magnolia Bakery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jenny-lemons-x-magnolia-bakery) is marking the occasion with a special Downton Abbey Cupcake.

Magnolia Bakery's new Downton Abbey Cupcake is a sweet treat that's just as regal as the show's main characters. The cupcake was created in partnership with [Focus Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-state) and will be available at Magnolia Bakery locations in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, and Washington DC throughout September. In terms of flavor, both the cake and the buttercream filling are made with loose-leaf [Earl Grey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/york-gin-grey-lady) tea, giving the cupcake a slightly floral taste that will remind you of a warm cuppa. Naturally, the cupcake also comes with a golden lattice wrapper, for that extra royal touch.
