Swirlz Cupcakes Chicago

Swirlz Cupcakes in Chicago gave me the warmest welcome with a huge smile and a plate full of hand picked cupcakes. Rachel has reported about Swirlz on numerous occasions but this was actually my first trip and I was so excited to be there! They've even made Cupcakes Take The Cake cupcakes before! None of those today, but the cupcakes I had were a-maz-ing.

So, there's one thing I'm sure about: they are really passionate about their cupcakes.... and have been since 2006. The cupcakery is located in the stellar Lincoln Park location of 705 W Belden, just off of Lincoln and Fullerton. Swirlz will be celebrating their 4th Anniversary next Saturday, October 2nd and they are inviting everyone to stop by and taste some special celebration treats!

Chocolate mint julep layered cupcake

noreply@blogger.com (Hisni77) — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 00:04:00 +0700

Chocolate mint julep layered cupcake
These mint julep cupcakes are from the blog Erin Cooks, where you can get the recipe, which is from the cookbook Booze Cakes by Krystina Castella and Terry Lee Stone (see our interview with Terry Lee Stone here). Here's some of her advice:

Here’s a tip for you to keep in mind when you’re baking the cupcakes. Don’t use baking cups! You’ll end up with a much smoother cake edge if you abstain from paper linings and just liberally lube you’re muffin tin with cooking spray. After all, a Mint Julep consumer would probably never want to be thought of as rustic. The horror!

This recipe and the accompany pieces may seem like a lot of steps but it’s actually quite quick to whip up and assemble. The payoff is an extremely tasty combination of rich cake spiked with mint, filled with a creamy savory filling, and covered in a velvety chocolate syrup that ties the whole plate together. Under general circumstances I would never say this, but perhaps on occasion it’s better to eat your booze with a fork rather than sip it in a pretty glass.

Happy Sunday, Baykahs!!!
I know I'm a BIT late with this week's post...but I have good reason! I was shopping.
I know that may not sound like a good reason to YOU, but if I have to SHOP it's important because I HATE TO SHOP FOR CLOTHES. I am ALL about internet shopping...point and click and STRAIGHT to your door, but I have an OCCASION: I am going to BRUNCH today with a new friend, JET TILA. I met Jet fairly recently through our mutual friend, Brock, and Jet and his lovely GF, Sophie, invited our family to brunch at WYNN. SO, a dress was in order.

Yes. A DRESS.

I know I don't seem like the dress type...but I AM over 30, so I better start updating the old JEANS AND T-SHIRT wardrobe I've got going on...so I DID. I got a SUPER CUTE, black-and-white-with-hints-of-blue DRESS to wear to our casual (BUT IT'S AT THE WYNN SO YOU WEAR A DRESS) brunch. I WILL post pics on Facebook...in case you're curious.

Before the shopping trip, we did have QUITE the week in terms of CUPCAKES. We weren't THAT busy, BUT we had one of THE MOST VIP DELIVERIES EVER.

*FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm going to start testing more vegan options SOON because I can see a demand brewin' BIG TIME.

It was a BRILLIANT day. I was totally SHOCKED that I was actually talking to the assistant of the CEO of TWITTER!!! Talk about CRAZY.

Speaking of CRAZY...we DID have a week FULL of crazy cute and DETAILED CAKES!!
Check out the Cupcakes/Cakes O' the WEEK!

Initials cake:

Brian's microphone cake!

And the BIG DADDY (really BIG BROTHER) Cake of the Week:
This cake was a collaboration between our NEWEST employee, Chris Snazzy and BRIAN (they are TOTALLY brothers at heart...). It was a cake for Snazzy's friend in California who has a car that he loves more than anything...despite what it looks like.

Snazzy piped the cake HIMSELF!

Just LOOK at those two...Brian's SO happy to have another GUY in the building!
That's IT! The week that Retro FED the CEO of Twitter and his LOVELY wife has come to an end...Now, I better get goin' since I gotta DRESS to put on! Don't know HOW long THAT'S gonna take me!
