The cupcake craze may be petering out on the coasts, but if the continued openings of cupcake-centric bakeries (Cupcake Gallery, Sprinkles Cupcakes in March) are any indicator, the demand for adorable, perfectly ganached cakes is still going strong in Chicago. Woe to the cupcake lover who wants to sort out which of the myriad bakeries is worth their while! Until now, you were sadly adrift, alone in a sea of decadent buttercream. Not all chocolate cupcakes look alike, but who can you trust??
Luckily our friends at Chicago Bites have come up with a solution: the Chicago Cupcake Crawl guide. Tammy Green has done the arduous legwork of sampling, photographing and speaking to over 30 Chicago bakeries, and has compiled all the information you need to know into a handy guidebook. With stats on each bakeries' hours and specialties and tips on how to plan a successful cupcake crawl (tip: end with salad), you will never again go lacking for paper-lined confectioneries. Forget the Field Museum; this is what I'm doing with my next batch of out-of-town guests.
