As for Bartell, he can’t explain the craze, and he isn’t about to question it.
“I don’t have an explanation,” he said one day last week while sitting behind the counter of his shop, Bartell’s Cupcakery in Struthers. “Maybe it’s the convenience. You can take one and go.”
It also might be the intense flavors that allow a baker to become an artist. Bartell packs a lot into each of his 48 varieties (and counting) of gourmet cupcakes.
The names he gives them usually hint at what’s inside: The Fudgie Pig, for example, is a chocolate cupcake with chocolate bacon icing topped with chocolate-covered bacon.

As soon as I make it over there and try one of these bacon creations I'll report back!
