Downtown Wilmette welcomes another new eatery with the arrival of Couture Cupcake Café.
The brainchild of Cathi Volante (who bills herself as “CEO & Cake Artist”), this adorably pink establishment features outstanding cupcakes and made- to-order decorated cakes along with a full Barista bar offering Chicago’s acclaimed Intelligentsia coffee. Only the freshest organic ingredients go into their signature cupcakes ($4.95 each), like the “Tiffany,” a delightfully tender Belgian dark chocolate cupcake with Tiffany blue-tinted vanilla buttercream and candy pearls on top. Talk about gilding the lily! Add this to your list of must-visit bakeries.
