Some of my favorite foods and drinks come in flights.

Wine flights.
Cheese flights.
Cupcake flights.

Patty Rothman, the “cupcake curator” behind Chicago’s more cupcakes, has proven that packaging six gorgeous, delicious mini-cupcakes, or “moresels,” into different flights keeps cupcake enthusiasts squealing with delight.

I had a chance to share a couple of more’s cupcake flights with my friend Sarah a really, really long time ago (I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to blog it…), and I’ve been thinking about ways to incorporate some of more’s thoughtful designs and flavor combinations into my own home cupcake creations.

{I was so drawn to the intricate detailing of the middle "black and white" moresels in more cupcake's "sweet flight," which costs $9.50}

One flight, the “sweet flight,” contains a couple traditional flavors: red velvet (far left) and salted caramel (far right). I was completely taken by the whimsical middle cupcake though — the black and white — which is a mix of Belgian dark chocolate and Madagascar bourbon vanilla cake, topped with chocolate buttercream frosting and milk and white chocolate curls. All of the moresels were utterly amazing — moist, decadent and just fun to eat! I’m planning to try my best at attaching chocolate shavings to some homemade cupcakes soon.

{You can't go wrong with a chocolate flight — and $9.50 isn't too much to throw down if you're a chocoholic and cupcake enthusiast like me.}

Another flight, the “chocolate flight,” caters to the chocoholics out there — myself included. Again, that middle cupcake — the signature “more” cupcake — caught my eye, but really, it’s what inside…cream filling…that sold me. Made with Belgian dark chocolate cake, a cream center and chocolate ganache, the more cupcake was outstanding. Also included in the flight are chocolate chocolate (far left) and chocolate vanilla (far right). From this flight, I’m inspired to work on my cupcake penmanship as I attempt to create signtature kimberlyloc cupcakes and mini cupcakes.

Are mini-cupcakes the next (not-so-) big thing?
