This press release brings news of yet another new bakery, in Chicago, a city which already has a few cupcakeries (see the blog Cake for Breakfast for a little taste).

The Phoebe's Cupcakes' Grand Opening takes place on Saturday, April 18th from noon to 7:00 pm. The first 1,500 customers will receive a complimentary cupcake with the purchase of a cup of Phoebe's Cupcakes Coffee(TM) that day. Two people among the first 1,500 customers on Saturday will win a Phoebe's Gold Cupcake(TM), which has a real, edible, gold flake topping and entitles the winner to one free cupcake a week for life. The first 25 people in line will receive door prizes.

Phoebe's Cupcakes differentiates itself from other bakeries in Chicago in a number of ways. The cupcakes have a distinctive, artistic look, with a swirl of Italian butter cream frosting and fun, fresh garnishes on top. The cupcakes are all hand-made in small batches throughout the day by culinary school trained pastry chefs, using the finest possible ingredients, including imported Belgian chocolate, whole vanilla beans, and fresh fruit. The company rotates its menu among more than 200 premium gourmet flavors, perhaps the most flavors of cupcakes offered by any bakery in the world. All 200 flavors are available for events such as weddings and parties, and for wholesale to restaurants and other businesses.


According to their Twitter posting, you can try their cupcakes a few days early:

We open in Lakeview on North Broadway on Wednesday April 15th at 8:00 AM. Cupcakes, muffins, cookies, cinnamon rolls, coffee & more.
