While riding the trolley on St. Charles in New Orleans we were greeted by the smiling face Mignon Francois, Founder of The Cupcake Collection. Not in person but on a billboard inside the trolley. It reminded us of home and the fact one of our great local entrepreneurs has a location in the Music and Crescent City. It’s awesome to see her expand her business into her hometown. That said, have you tried any of their favorite flavors? Our’s is Sweet Potato but there are so many more (as they describe below):
