The blog Food in Mouth visited Chicago bakery Swirlz Cupcakes and had this to say:
While they may not be the cheapest cupcakes ($3) or vegan (though there are gluten free options), Swirlz has some of the prettiest cupcakes around. I often find myself staring at them for a little longer than I need to and whisper softly, "you may be beautiful, but I'm going to eat you anyway."
I once heard someone call them cupcakes for "adults." I'm not sure what that means, but their cupcakes definitely are less sweet and sugary than some of the other cupcake places around. Either way, I like it. The frosting is light and delicate. And there are enough flavors to entertain any palate.
The flavor options change depending on the day you go; there are a few staples, but there are rotating daily flavors and a surprise cupcake. My favs include: Red Velvet, Tiramisu, PB+J and S'mores. But no matter what I get, I think they got their slogan right, "cupcakes make people happy."
