Kate and I stopped in at Sweet Mandy B's yesterday to take a much-needed break from a day-long site measure. We needed a pick-me-up, and since we were nearby we couldn't resist visiting the sweet-as-can-be bake shop. Any time I get even remotely near the intersection of Racine & Webster, my mouth starts watering as visions of snickerdoodle cookies and frosted cupcakes dance in my head. It is impossible to drive by without a stop.
Awash in cheery yellow and robins-egg blue, Sweet Mandy B's is a happy, cozy bakery serving up old-fashioned treats. Patrons young and old peer into the glass counters picking out scrumptious goodies like whoopie pies, rich brownies, soft and chewy cookies, layer cakes and fresh fruit pies. I tend to stick with the chocolate and vanilla cupcakes topped with {the most amazing!} buttercream frosting and candy sprinkles. Sheer bliss in every bite and so worth cheating on the diet. In fact, this is why I run. I run to eat these cupcakes.
If you've never been to Sweet Mandy B's, I urge you to go now. Run. Run like the wind!

Ditto, Karey! You're on my blog-roll, and I'm loving checking in each day to see what's happening with you and your "girlies."
My sister lives in Orland Park with her family... just a hop, skip and jump from Joliet.
I had a Sweet Mandy B's Whoopie Pie last night for my birthday and it was insanely, unlawfully amazing. I'm still dreaming of it..
