Over the Rainbow Cupcakes  
The ancient Mayans are known for a number of contributions to modern society, but none is more cherished than the combination of chocolate and chili peppers. Over the Rainbow Cupcakes’ Chef Roman Blas has crafted his own take on the ancient indulgence by creating a Chocolate Jalapeño Cupcake. It boasts a dark cocoa jalapeño base, chocolate buttercream, and is topped with a fiery burst of jalapeno. One bite will send your pulse racing.
