We came from France to check out real US cupcakes. After having tried several well renowned bakeries in London, UK, we hit Chicago.
Walking into Molly's is like going back to school - with all those good memories. The small tables and chairs, the games and the counter with swings !
Then when we get to the counter
it's heaven.
You can make your own cupcake. You choose the base, the frosting and the toppings. Then it is decorated in front of you !
Or if you are feeling really adventurous you can try the many specialised cupcakes. Be careful, these are serious cupcakes soft and fluffy, excellent filling and not sickly at all !! Much to our (pleasant) surprise expecting US cupcakes to be sweeter than those in the UK.
So Molly's is bakery number 6 on the cupcake list and went straight to the top and is still there (after trying 3 bakeries in Madison WI too).
To tell you how good it was, we were due to drive back from Milwaukee on the following Sunday directly to O'Hare to fly home, we changed our plans to spend the Saturday night in Chicago so we could go back to Molly's !!!!
This is THE address to know, to go to and to share with everyone !
Pros: Friendly, confortable, delicious
Cons: temptation
