OWNER/CUPCAKE CURATOR
Patty Rothman
Patty Rothman opened more in 2008 with the sole vision of embracing excess in every bite. Recognizing the growing popularity of cupcakes around the country and, looking to start a cheerful, happy business, she enlisted the help of her friends James Beard Award-winner Gale Gand and famed restaurateur Henry Adaniya to enlarge the retail and wholesale store concept and develop unique cupcake recipes. Although this is Rothman's first foray into the specialty food business, she is not new to building successful start-ups. She owns Hinge Studios in Chicago, a premier recording studio that has produced or mixed songs for the likes of Lupe Fiasco and Kanye West. |
