Chicago Bites

If you were unable to attend this weekend’s Pastry Market at Logan Square Kitchen for Valentine’s Day goodies, it’s still not too late to be inspired by the city’s many bakers and candy makers. Ideas to impress your significant other include the ever-popular box of chocolates, pretzel-topped cookies, organic flavored syrups, and even a baked dinner for two. Or you could take the Tinycakes route and shave the name of your sweet into your hair.

I’d stick with sugar, though. It’s hard to go wrong with sugar.

Attendees for the two-day event included Bake, Black Dog Gelato, Brass Knuckle Bon Bons, Celestial Kitchens, Compassioneat, De-floured, FIG Catering, Flour Cake and Pastry, Fritz Pastry, Ipsento Coffee House, Jo Snow Syrups, Katherine Anne Confections, Mayana Chocolate, Nice Cream, Nonna Santi’s Biscotti, Rare Bird Preserves, Salted Caramel, Small Comfort, Swirlz Cupcakes, and Tinycakes.

Check these places out today! If you’re lucky, they’ll have enough goodies on the shelf for both you and your Valentine.
