Ever since the Cubs won the 2016 World Series, across Chicago, you will "Fly the W" and hear the Cubs songs everywhere. If there's one thing we can all agree on is that we can never resist a sweet treat in honor of a game, a win, or just the Cubs team spirit.
To gear up for tonight's NCLS Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, I have rounded up some of my favorite spots to hit up in Chicago for a sweet treat and celebrate! (No particular order)
Buttercream Frosting Heaven. This Highwood bakery is known for its incredible assortment of cookies, cakes, cupcakes, bread, and more! Plus there is a fantastic antique shop connected to the bakery!

Not only does this newly opened Northbrook staple, have cakes in the cutest little jars, whatever your heart desires from delicious salads, rice bowls, overnight oats, poke, and avocado roast! You name it, and they will have it or have it planned on the menu.

The shop may look small, but the sweetness is in the air and the cupcakes are tasty. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcake you can never go wrong with either.
