    Cupcakes! They are all amazing! They even have one vegan option each day. I had the vegan red velvet and it didn't even taste vegan it was that delicious!

    So-so: If you're in for a Red Velvet wonder head over to Sweet Miss Givings located in the French market @ Ogilvie. Tho the seasonal varieties & aroma of warm sugar are irresistible. Round 2? Why not.

    They have very good cupcakes. Despite the lines they get, there's only enough seats for four or five people inside.

    There’s no opening wide for these things—these are cupcakes that, for once, are of manageable size. That may convince you to eat more than one, which you probably can. Read more

    Don't plan on being able to enjoy your cupcake(s) in the shop; it is small, with very limited seating. If you can grab one, though, go for it.

    Nothing makes a great day better than a Sprinkles Vegan Red Velvet cupcake. It's also great if you're having a bad day. What I'm saying is: you should have one today.

    If you are waiting in line, try to help keep the door closed. This insures the freshness of the cupcakes housed inside.
