Cupcakes

SO... a few years back, ilk three years already, I was looking for something fun to do in the city and I ran across a website that had a Chicago Cupcake Crawl. Cupcakes are quite the hit in Chicago and have really taken off. When looking for that original website I had to sift through a few, hats off to these ladies for starting me on a fun cupcake habit...

My latest cupcake visit was to Magnolia Bakery Chicago, it's located on State St. very close to Macy's. I highly recommend the German Chocolate Cupcake.

Also in that area is Sugar Bliss Cake Boutique. Sugar Bliss holds a special place in my heart for a couple of reasons. One, they were one of my original cupcake finds. And two, they sell frosting shots! How cool are they?

Mobile cupcakes, these ladies have a fabulous following - well, it's fabulous until you have to stand in line ;)
Delicious cupcakes! My favorite: The Curious George - Mmmm!

One of my favorites, again, one of my firsts - Molly's Cupcakes. Great cupcakes in a fun shop!

And a great Tinley Park Bakery:  http://www.realbuttercream.com/cakes/creative-cupcakes.html

There are plenty I haven't tried yet & I haven't mentioned - I honestly do not recommend a cupcake crawl - it's just too much...

But I do recommend having fun and trying them all.

Full size or minis, cupcakes are fun and who doesn't like fun?

Love this picture at Sugar Monkey!
