So with map in hand, we headed off to Southport Grocery and Cafe for their chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with sugary butter cream. We added a latte to the ticket and found a little table and chairs out front of Anthropologie, for our little date.
The cake was really good, but the butter cream was light but seemed too sugary for my liking-- but it was delicious. I just may try their peach hand pies next time!
we made a quick stop at Wrigley field, Eric was so excited!
Sweet Mandy B’s wasn't much farther from there. The bakery was in a great neighborhood for walking— historic buildings and cute shops all around. It took a little walking from the train stop, but not much.
We got a dozen mini cupcakes, banana chocolate chip, vanilla and carrot cake. For Papa’s birthday, we brought home two vanilla cupcakes with butter cream.
These cupcakes were good, o my. We saved them until after dinner, we couldn't fathom having cupcakes for brunch and snack.
We finished off the evening at Gino's East with our friends I had never had Chicago pizza before, this was such a treat.
