Chicago Cupcake Review

As most of you know we were in Chicago over the weekend. One of my goals while we were here was to get some pictures & try a few of the small shops. We hit up 3, Molly's, Sprinkles & Phoebe's Cupcakes. All but Sprinkles are smaller shops, Molly's has 2 locations, Phoebe's 1 but they are moving soon!

I thought it would be fun to show you guys some pictures & do a small review of what we got! 

Lets start with Phoebe's as it was our first stop & we haven't been there before.



Its a small shop but very cute. They are in the process of moving so I will be going back when we come out in August. We got a brownie peanut butter cupcake, peach, salted caramel & pancakes & bacon.

Peach: the cake was amazing although I couldn't put my finger on if it was yellow or white. BUT the frosting was very artifical flavoring.
Pancakes & Bacon: Didn't try, we gave to a friend. But it was a maple cake with strips of bacon on the top
Salted Caramel: white cake soaked in caramel with a light caramel frosting. It was good but needed more caramel. I am a caramel freak so I was hoping there was a filling!
Peanut Butter Brownie: The darn hubby got most of this. Chocolate & a light peanut butter base. Had a light pb frosting. OMG lets just say it was good but I am excited to make it even better!! Look for this to be added to our flavor list soon! I can't get enough.....



I am excited to go back to their new shop. I wasn't 100% in love with everything as I don't like to use flavorings if I can use real fruit, ect but they had some fun flavors. Keep watching this week as we go though all the reviews!!
