Through their prize winning pieces, essayists Rachel Aquino and Mikaela Watson delve into the symbiotic relationship between the senses and creativity. In “Let Them Eat This: Applewood Bacon Cupcakes, Noah’s Ark, and Tasty Cake Creations,” Rachel Aquino reveals how taste compelled a family to turn their passion for baking into a lucrative business.
