Just know that if you go the specialty cupcake route you will end up paying just as much per serving and sometimes more for cupcakes than getting a cake. Cupcakes are more labor intensive sometimes than a cake so that's why cake designers charge as much or more for cuppies!

Whole Foods is amazing! I buy my kids birthday cakes there, they're beautiful, they taste good, they're pretty decently priced and my favorite thing: YOU CAN PRONOUNCE EVERYTHING IN THEM!

Get on Google and put in creative cupcakes.......see what pops up.....or you can put in creative bakeries..........

Either way, I'm sure you'll find a great bakery that will be able to help you out.....you might try an individual that someone knows as well, sometimes they are the best choice!
Good Luck....take care.

Hi,
I got cupcakes from Sugar Monkey's in downtown Naperville for a baby shower I hosted. They will do any design you like and they were adorable. Only catch - they are pricey, but you get a discount the more you buy!

Try Sams. Their bakery does awesome cakes, you can customize your order, and I have seen cupcake "cakes" there before.

I don't like JenyLee cupcakery. Very unprofessional. Not worth it for the horrible attitudes of the people that work there.
