Their motto is "Cupcakes make people happy." And they would be correct. Swirlz Cupcake Boutique, located in Lincoln Park near DePaul University, bakes 'haute couture' cupcakes. The cupcakes are pricey ($42 for a dozen), but they're worth it for their delicious whipped buttercream frosting and moist cake. Their small, friendly staff (and smaller store) create an intimate, neighborhood setting. Since one of the founders is a nutritionist, they are also proud to tell you that their reduced-sugar cupcakes equal only five points according to Weight Watchers' point system. They also have one of the largest assortment of vegan and gluten-free cupcakes in Chicago.
