I haven't actually read this, but it looks very interesting - the very idea that a city's cupcake bakeries are worthy of an entire e-book is fascinating. From Chicago Bites, I learned about Tammy Green's e-book Chicago Cupcake Crawl: Blazing a Path Through a City of Big Shoulders.

Guides for newcomers were one thing, but I wanted to do something for people who were stuck in a routine or who didn’t see the value of branching out to try new things. I picked cupcakes as the subject of my next guide, and realized that it would be bigger than a few pages — there was simply too much information and too much to say. Foodies in Chicago take their cupcakes seriously, and I realized that I needed to put together a guide worthy of their zest for baked goods. I also discovered that while everyone loves cupcakes, very few people have tried more than one or two places. There was nothing out there to meet the needs of the true cupcake lover — no information that showed them just how many good options they have.
And here's the official description:
Love cupcakes? Want to find the very best in the city? Local Chicago Bites food bloggers Tammy Green and Bridget Houlihan will steer you in the right direction with their Chicago Cupcake Crawl Guide!
Tammy sampled cupcakes at more than 30 bakeries, took pictures, talked to bakers, and compiled all you’ll ever want to know into one handy resource. The guide details hours, specialties, and prices. It also includes tips on how to plan a “Cupcake Crawl” — like a pub crawl, only with cupcakes — and features a series of mapped out routes complete with public transportation suggestions. For $9.95, you’ll get an e-book, a year’s worth of updates to it, and cupcake coupons as they become available
The official site answers questions such as "What Is a Cupcake Crawl?"
A Cupcake Crawl is a quest for the “best cupcake.” Participants plan a route and go from bakery to bakery trying cupcakes back-to-back. Crawls can be based on neighborhoods, transportation options, favorite flavors, or, if you’re really enthusiastic, entire cities.
It’s best to cupcake crawl in groups. A single person can, of course, consume lots of cupcakes, but it’s easier to avoid cupcake overload and try more flavors if you share.
Cupcake Crawls are great activities for bachelorette parties, baby showers, or holiday outings. So if you’re having a slow weekend, grab a group of friends and go on your own quest for the city’s best!
