The NATO (Jenkins) Cupcake

Despite a cultured upbringing whenever I hear the acronym NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), I think of the scene from the Chris Rock movie, Head of State, whereby the late comedian (and Chicago-native) Bernie Mac states, "I don't know NATO and you don't know Nato (Jenkins)." Despite being old enough to remember when the treaty was signed, I am still reduced to the musings of two comedians upon hearing the term. 

All jokes aside, the New York based bakery, Magnolia Bakery, has created a NATO cupcake for the NATO convention being held in Chicago later this month. This gem will only be sold at the State Street location in Chicago  and is be available for $3.00 until May 25.
