MilliGCornilicious is at it again, this time bringing the corny to the kitchen via spice cupcakes with traditional white icing and pumpkin spice candy corn.

On one particular occassion, I brought a friend along who was a Staten Island, NY native. A journalist with a passion for local cultures and cuisines, he asked the St. Louis crew what foods we felt [...] A typical April afternoon, today predictably brought with it Missouri showers.
