"Betty Alper has been a fixture at the 61st Street and Logan Square farmers markets for years, where shoppers have been impressed by her assortment of vegan and gluten-free cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and more. She opened a retail location in the South Shore in 2017, but the pandemic has forced it to close until further notice. However, Alper is still selling baked goods for pickup each week at the aforementioned markets. Pre-orders can be placed here. Custom cakes are also available by calling 773-495-4615. Also, find her at Logan Square and other farmer’s markets." - Jeffy Mai
