Holy sugar high Batman! This place is a great place to stop for a dessert after lunch or dinner in Downtown Champaign and now that the weather is warming up should be a great place to hang out on the patio. I had the vanilla cupcake with the most amazing icing EVER! The cake itself was pretty dry (I like a more dense, moist cake and cupcake) but the icing had me making inappropriate noises in the middle of the afternoon!
The decor is definitely Ikea-chic and the seating is not designed for comfortable conversation, but the DT Champaign hipsters in there on their laptops didn't seem to mind. The other major negative was $2 for a glass of milk. Talk about profit margin.....I can get a GALLON of milk at Aldi for $1.99 (and I'm guessing the owners of Cakes do too!). Overall though, not a bad place, and I'll definitely swing by for a grab and go during my next stop in Chambana.
