Molly's Cupcakes

These cupcakes are by far, the best cupcakes i have ever had in my entire life. Even though I've lived in the city for almost 5 years, the first time I had Molly's Cupcakes was about a year and a half ago. I'd heard about it before, but living in the south loop i never really had much reason to go all the way up to Lincoln Park. Now, I wish that I had because i missed out on over three years of these delicious cupcakes! anyway, when I realized that my boyfriend had moved less than 10 minutes from Molly's cupcakes, I didn't even wait a full day before dragging him over there! 


The place itself reminds me of some old timey ice cream shop (minus the ice cream) with board games for people to play and swings to sit at along the counter. Basically, I was in love with this place before I even tasted the cupcakes. after some careful consideration, I chose the peach cobber cupcake. the cake part itself is pretty average, although perfectly moist. Inside that cupcake though, is where the real treat is -- peach puree. With just the perfect amount inside the cupcake, it really spices up the plain vanilla cake. The frosting though, is my favorite part. more like a whipped cream topping, this frosting is perfect for all those people who claim to hate frosting (although, really, how can you hate frosting?!). Never the less, it goes perfectly with the peach puree and makes the entire cupcake lighter and more refreshing rather than heavy like some cupcakes can be.


I've gone back to Molly's countless times and have tried just about every cupcake they have, but my favorite is still the peach cobbler. No matter what you get though, you really cant go wrong! The one quip (if you could even call it that) is that Molly's gets insanely busy during some parts of the day. If you dont want to wait in line I'd suggest going earlier in the day because for some reason the line gets ridiculously long after 7 pm. Even so, waiting in a line for a few minutes is definitely worth it for these yummy cupcakes!
