Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Chicago’s cupcake craze is still going strong, but not only is it hurting our waistlines, it’s hurting our bottom lines as well. For example, a smallish apple-cider cupcake at Lakeview’s Cupcakes (613 W. Briar Pl. 773-525-0817) runs 3 bucks! But you know the saying: Buy a man a cupcake, and he eats for a day (or a second, in our case); teach him to make cupcakes and, well, just make sure he’s got insulin injections ready. If you’re willing to risk it, sign up for Saturday’s Cute as a Cupcake class at Gallery 37 Center for the Arts. You’ll learn the secrets to making better batter and how to spread icing like the pros do. $30. Preregistration required. 11 a.m. Saturday. 66 E. Randolph St. 312-742-8497.
