Sugar Bliss Cake Boutique (CLOSED)

The coastal cupcake magnates—Sprinkles and Magnolia—get all the attention. But Teresa Ging's bakeshop, whose second location is quizzically located on a pedestrian-free stretch of River North, is an unsung hero of the Chicago cupcake scene, serving moist chocolate and vanilla cakes in perfect proportion to their petal-shaped frosting toppings. As a bonus, Sugar Bliss offers nearly all its flavors in mini form: If Chocolate Cappuccino is in the case, make a move.
