Mac and Cheese Cupcakes:

Trine article explains the full flavor cupcake trend:

"Everybody is pushing the limits of food right now," said Patty Rothman, who stocks her new Gold Coast cupcake emporium MORE with cupcakes that taste like a BLT sandwich or bacon with pancakes and maple syrup or, in time for fall, macaroni and cheese. "Can we take something familiar and re-create it in another way?"

In other words, can you make a cupcake that tastes like a bowl of steaming tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side?

Of course, said Rothman. She sells out of the BLT and bacon-maple cupcakes every day. "People are open to it," she said. "Chicago is a pretty sophisticated food town."

Creativity comes from Chaos!
