Why You Should Go: Much like fashion, music and the stock market, food too can fall victim to trends. From truffle oil and lobster mac ‘n’ cheese to bubble tea and gourmet sliders, we have a tendency to go through certain snacks so quickly we ultimately get sick of them. Anyone who’s been to a birthday party or any other kind of celebration in the last 50 years or so, however, can tell you that cupcakes are one of the world’s most beloved snacks, and thanks to Vanilla Bean, they won’t be going away anytime soon.
