Is There Room in My Life for 2 Favorite Cupcake Joints?

Magnolia Bakery treats.

Maybe in my life, but probably not on my waistline.

On second thought, I’ll find a way to make room for both Bleeding Heart Bakery and Magnolia Bakery.

While both specialize in cupcakes, their styles and flavorings couldn’t be more different.

When I’m in the mood for creative, sometimes daring flavors and a hearty, but not-too-dense cupcake, I’ll head to Bleeding Heart, where so far the Veruca Salt (vanilla and salted caramel) is my favorite.

But when I’m in the mood for light, airy, crumbly cake topped with a super sweet buttercream frosting, Magnolia’s the spot for me.

I’m lucky to have both in my neighborhood at work (Magnolia) and at home (Bleeding Heart).

Now what’s this I hear about Crumbs opening up soon in Oak Park?
