2012_09_30_magnolia.jpeg Your Monday afternoon sugar rush will be cheaper tomorrow—Magnolia Bakery is celebrating its first birthday with $1 classic cupcakes from noon-2 p.m. We're fans of Magnolia's traditional vanilla cupcakes, but they also have a classic dark chocolate cupcake that you can select.

In honor of its birthday, the bakery is also introducing its Chicago Cupcake, pictured here, which will be available every day. You can get it with vanilla or chocolate cake, and the blue frosting is topped with an edible white chocolate disc of the Chicago skyline.

Magnolia Bakery is located in Block 37 at 108 N. State St.
