Know Your Niles Food? Le Sucre Cakes and Cupcakes

Culinary school grad and her husband own and run this shop, whose name means 'sugar' in French.

In this "guess the food" feature, we asked you yesterday to guess which Niles establishment makes the pictured dish. Most of you guessed the correct answer: , a stylish storefront at 7962 N. Waukegan Road, Niles.

Earlier:

Minja Lee, who graduated from culinary school at Kendall College, and her husband Eric Chung run the shop, which has a display of artistically decorated cakes in its front windows. (They're made of polystyrene covered with real fondant.)

Once inside, a bakery case of fancily decorated cupcakes dominates the space. They come in the following varieties: Blueberry with cream cheese frosting, strawberry with cream cheese frosting, red velvet, tiramisu, carrot cake, banana chocolate chip, mocha and espresso butter cream and chocolate and dark chocolate butter cream. There's also the flavor we pictured: salted caramel, which has yellow cake baked with brown sugar and is topped with cream cheese frosting, a caramel drizzle, sea salt a fancy little chocolate decoration and a Milk Dud.

Le Sucre, which means sugar in French, also offers cakes, which must be ordered in advance.
