This morning on our way to meet our friends for storytime and some fall shopping in preparation for our upcoming trip, the twins and I stopped at yet another bakery to partake in some delicious cupcakes.
As many of you know, I am on a mission to find the best cupcakes in the world. In fact, much of our upcoming road trip will involve tracking down the best cupcakes in each of the cities we'll be visiting.
I've decided that I'm going to keep a running log rating all of the cupcake places we've tried. A star rating of 4 or more is excellent. Thus far, only two places have achieved the elusive 5-star rating. Luckily, I have never had what I would consider a "bad" cupcake.
Here's my list so far (all locations are in the Chicagoland area):
Sweet Mandy B's *****
Bent Fork*****
Molly's Cupcakes****
Dinkels Bakery****
Winston's Market****
Southport Grocery ***
M. Henry***
Alliance Bakery***
Kim's Kitchen***
Swirlz***
Whole Foods***
Bennison's Bakery***
Blind Faith***
Jewel***
also on my list, but haven't tried them yet:
Cupcakes
Sensational Bites
Sweet Occasions
Fox & Obel
Bleeding Heart
Chaos Theory
Bittersweet
Swedish Bakery
A Taste of Heaven
Sweet Honeybee
Also, I just found this website, complete with detailed reviews and pictures!
Yum!

Ah, something to aspire to.
Until then...I think I can beat Chris to the 2 happy cakes left on my counter :).

Not as delicious, but much more entertaining.
