The Flying Cupcake! A New Friend!


Look at these pictures and you'll know why I love the Flying Cupcake.
Located at 56th and Illinois, the Flying Cupcake makes the best cupcakes I have ever tasted! Kate, the owner, is now my new best friend (after she sent me home with a box to try). You should have seen and tasted them. Coconut (my favorite), strawberry with pink icing and cake (yummy), carrot cake (rich and decadent), golden with chocolate icing (my husband's favorite), red velvet (I didn't even care for red velvet until I tried Kate's whoa!!), traditional wedding (all white and almondy), traditional birthday (white or chocolate with fun sprinkles) and bahrumba (a buttery pecan flavor and toasted pecans make this sinful). Now, about the icing....it was thick and amazing. Each cupcake had icing to coordinate with the flavor. I just don't know how Kate and Gigi do it. They truly are masters. Besides tasty treats their store is so much fun. Little ballerina cake toppers, ice cream, vintage trays and candy treats make it a special place to visit. Thanks, Kate.
