While baking some muffins this morning, (keep any and all "Cunningham Muffins" jokes to yourselves please) I was reminded of one of my favorite bakeries. Not only are the cupcakes to die for, but the owner has quite an interesting story. Teresa Ging, a graduate of the University of Chicago with a degree in Economics and Statistics, worked in finance before her career in cupcakes. After six years in the business world she up and left for Paris. After Pastry school she came back to Chicago and perfected 20 cupcake recipes before opening her catering business. A little more than a year later she opened the Sugar Bliss Cake Boutique on Wabash. In my opinion, Sugar Bliss is right up there with the Magnolia Bakery of NYC... except there is no obnoxious line and they are mini so you feel like less of a lard after eating one...or two or three. Teresa features five flavors everyday. Any day that she has her Cinnamon Carrot and Chocolate Coconut is the best day to go (soooo Thursdays and Saturdays). She has a complete list on her site of what flavors are on what days so you can plan your visit.Once Chicago leaves this frozen tundra phase we've entered into, hit up Sugar Bliss Cake Boutique, you will not be disappointed!
