Chicago Sun-Times article on new cupcakes-only bakery Cupcakes
Chicago has its dessert bars and chocolate lounges. It has a cafe that serves only breakfast cereal. And now it has Cupcakes, a postage stamp-size storefront with a sole business that is, well, obvious.
Classic yellow cupcakes. Double chocolate cupcakes. Coconut, key lime and caramel macchiato cupcakes. A rotating cast of 40 flavors in all -- with buttercream on top.
The shop at 613 W. Briar, which uses mostly organic ingredients, is one of a handful of cupcake-only bakeries nationwide and the first in Chicago.
These days, the homespun childhood treats have grown-up flavors -- and they're big business for many bakeries.
