Cupcakes presented art gallery style is how I would describe MORE cupcakerie in Chicago. Smoother-than-silk frostings. Sculpted icings. Chocolate curls as tight as Shirley Temple’s.
And the flavors? MORE’s list of cupcakes includes a blackberry, salted caramel, and chocolate mint (pictured).
I’m thinking Chicago Museum of Art, stroll along the lakefront, and some downtown deep dish pizza, followed by MORE, MORE, MORE.
Today, my friend Beth and I tried a little market research on cupcakes, going to Dollop, a local cupcakery. A novel concept: at Dollop, you pick your cupcake, your filling, your frosting, and your topping, and the cupcake is put together before your eyes.
Ice Cream & Cupcakes!
Beth asked for a chocolate cupcake with mint frosting and York Peppermint Patty topping.
I asked for a vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting with dark chocolate bits as topping.
On the side? That’s mint chocolate chip ice cream and mocha chip ice cream from our favorite local, Pittsford Dairy Farms. All organic, Pittsford Farms Dairy uses milk and cream from their cows to make their ice cream. The perfect accompaniment!
Do you have cupcake shops like this near you and what do you choose when you go there?
