The Cupcake Gallery
Mar 12th
The area of Chicago that we live in is called Uptown, in the heart of the north side of Chicago just a mile north of Wrigley Field. It’s a gentrifying neighborhood, or “up-and-coming” as some put it, and as such has a very diverse population in a small area ranging from the homeless to the working class to young professionals to insanely wealthy mansion owners. Many business have come and go, trying to fulfill the needs of this wide clientele. One newcomer to the game filling up an empty storefront along a stretch of Wilson Avenue is The Cupcake Gallery. Everybody, both rich and poor, loves cupcakes so it’s a welcome and refreshing addition to the neighborhood!

Chocolate Ginger Cupcakes
Dec 14th
The first thing I had ever baked with Katrina were Raspberry Coconut Cupcakes topped with cream cheese frosting, toasted coconut, and raspberries. It was one of the first weekends we had spent together in Chicago and was a memorable experience for me. Katrina is typically the baking queen in this household, but this weekend I pulled out her favorite cupcake book and made one that she has never had before. My baking performance was respectable, and the Chocolate Ginger Cupcakes with Dark Chocolate Mousse were lip smacking delicious.
