Magnolia's delicious sweets no doubt have something to do with its fame as well, and now the bakery is opening shop right here in Chicago.
It's a sort of homecoming for Magnolia's chief baking officer Bobbie Lloyd, who is a Chicago native. She joined us in our kitchen to demonstrate her recipe for Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pie Cookies.
Magnolia Bakery opens October 1 at 108 N. State Street, with entrances in Block 37 and street side.
