Baba Au Rhum

What’s more festive than a dessert that’s lit on fire? Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or just a Saturday night out, executive pastry chef Karen Urie Shields’s baba au rhum is a fun — and delicious — way to cap off your dinner. A tender round of rum-soaked brioche is served perched over crème anglaise and lit aflame at the table. Top that, birthday candles. $16. 177 N. Ada St., West Loop
