Chicago Cupcake Update


For those of you in the Chicagoland area jonesing for your fix of a NYC cupcake, head over to Sweet Mandy B's in Lincoln Park. So far, this is the winner of my cupcake search. Very cute little place (and it smelled so good in there), and I will definitely be making a return trip some day. Better than Magnolia since a)cupcakes were only $1.50, b) there were more varieties of cupcakes to choose from, and c) I didn't have to wait more than three minutes.

However, now that I am moving away from this area, I will crown my 2nd choice of the cupcake challenge: Alliance Bakery & Cafe. This is actually just down the street from my new apartment (which could be deadly).

Isn't it funny that the lowly cupcake is the current hot dessert? Man, they smell serious good, don't they?

Mmm! I love myself a cupcake!

The cupcake is excellent because of its petite size. You can just get one for a treat, and it's like having your own cake.
