Sweet Cakes!

Mmmm hmmm...this is a find!  Sweet Cakes Bakery is a little gem nestled on the corner of Damen Avenue and Iowa in the Ukrainian Village. I love the vibe here...clean, open and welcoming.  Oh yeah...the frosting on the cupcakes is out of this world!!!  Very light and buttery.  YUM!  But I think my favorite thing is the raspberry cornmeal scone...so flipping good!

I can't wait to get a group of girlfriends together and check out their afternoon tea on Tuesday's.













Be sure to check of Sweet Cakes if you live in the area (or visit Chicago!)

You can find the bakery at:
901 North Damen Avenue
773-772-5771

    I love your new blog! I've never been to Chicago, but your passion for the city totally makes me want to go visit sometime. Now, I know if I get a chance to go, here's a ready itinerary of charming spots to have my tea and cookies. :)

    I have not been to Sweet Cakes but I did eat at a truly unique place last week - Jibek Jolu which features the cuisine of Kazakhstan and is located at 5047 N. Lincoln Ave.

    What a wonderful idea! I'm about four hours east of Chicago, but love visiting. The next time perhaps I can check out one of the great places you showcase.

    Congratulations on your new blog!

    Great project here, Caroline. You should have the Chamber of Commerce website linking to this, among others.
