Everything is delicious at Cake, a Chicago bakery and NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week (we reviewed it under a previous name, Damn Good Cookies). You can send anything on the menu as a gift, and it will delight the most demanding recipients. It is not a gluten-free bakery, but there is gluten-free treasure to be found: If you’re on the hunt for a gluten-free cookie gift for someone with a discerning palate, look no further than their specially Chubby Wubby Defloured, a sophisticated, delectable, gluten-free chocolate cookie.

The conventional Chubby Wubby has led to a family of other Chubbies—different fillings with the same delicious chocolate cookies: |
