Six flavors are offered here, including “funfetti” – a vanilla cupcake with homemade rainbow sprinkles throughout, topped with a rainbow swirl frosting and birthday-cake crumble on top. There’s also, on occasion, a lavender-white chocolate cupcake with a lavender-infused buttercream topping. Sharp-eyed customers may recognize some of the same flavors at Lyon Hall, Northside Social and The Liberty Tavern, since LeoNora is part of The Liberty Tavern Group of restaurants.
