Beer flavored cupcakes near Chicago at The Exceptional Man, Chicago

Just a short hour drive outside the city of Chicago lies a magical city called Fox Lake. In this city is little bakery called (cacao) Sweets & Treats. What is so special about this place? Hard liquor-flavored cupcakes, that’s what.

Ranging from Guiness Stout cupcakes, to Mike’s Hard Lemonade Spiked cupcakes, to other beer and wine assorted varieties, these babies are worth a trip up to Fox Lake. Any takers?

Not in the Chicago area? Fear not. Their Etsy store ships. They’ll even bake your favorite beer into a cupcake if it’s not on the list.
