Molly's Cupcakes

Molly's Cupcakes bakes cupcakes from scratch in small kitchens, with flavors that range from classic vanilla and chocolate to creme brulee, blueberry cheesecake, peanut butter, and Samoa-style. The company also offers cupcakes for weddings and treats for events. The founding story traces back to a third-grade teacher named Molly who baked cupcakes for her class's birthdays.

The Lincoln Park shop at 2536 North Clark Street is the original location, and the company has other shops in Chicago, several suburban malls, New York, Iowa, Ohio, and Ann Arbor. Many locations deliver through their own staff, but deliveries to buildings with strict security may not be possible. Cupcakes with cream or cheese toppings need refrigeration, and the bakery warns that cross-contamination with common allergens is possible.
