Chicago’s Finest Bakeries: Vanilla Sugar Bakery

I used to think that all cupcakes were created equal, until I had my first Vanilla Sugar Bakery cupcake. With flavors like “Its Just Nuts” and “Banoffee,” they’re as fun to say as they are to eat. And they aren’t just making me rethink my cupcakes. Everything from their delicate French macarons to their delicious caramel covered brownies come from well crafted recipes, over 10 years in the making. Vanilla Sugar Bakery’s secret, though, is that they use only the finest and freshest ingredients – real butter, sugar, flour, eggs etc. to create their delicious desserts.

The bakery was started by two sisters, Norma and Maggie, and grew from a small batch business in their home to a thriving bakery in Winfield, IL. As their client base grew in 2010, the sisters decided to give up corporate careers to fully pursue their dreams of opening and operating a bakery. In a region full of world class bakeries, what has continued to set Vanilla Sugar Bakery apart is their focus on quality. All of their recipes are made fresh daily, without preservatives, fillers or additives. Just yummy, gooey deliciousness!! Check out some of their mouthwatering sweets below.

It was so amazing to have them as one of our esteemed vendors at last week’s Love is Sweet Valentines dessert event (full event recap to come!!). I’m still dreaming about those salted vanilla cupcakes. Yum!
