No! No! You are stuck in the frou frou of Lakeview as once I was. THE bakeries of Chicago are along Archer, miles away, and the Willy Wonka of cake bakeries is (and it's not the only one) Pticek's just S. of Archer's dogleg at 5523 S Narragansett Ave.

Hi, Voidform - I hadn't checked out Marked for Dessert but now I'm craving banana cake...and covered with ganache? Sounds fantastic.

Shannon - Alas, no $$ for the Cloudgate... which would be an impressive cake, no doubt (how could you balance the bean on those curved ends?) Just PRIDE. Pride is on the line! ;)

for enough money, i'll make cloudgate. i've been meaning to expand my repetoire anyway, since i didn't do any gingerbread this past holiday season.

My specialty is a roommate-passed-down naked lady cake. It tastes better than the penis-cake pan cakes, and there's boobies too. How can you not giggle?

Thanks for posting this. A friend of mine recently got a cake from cake girls that was very elaborate and beautiful (and tasty.) My only problem with this article is that all my needs in fact, ARE penis shaped.
