ABC7 Feature - Kristoffer's Cakes in McKinley Park boasts signature creation: Chocoflan

Published November 20th, 2024 by Kristoffer's Cakes

A McKinley Park bakery is a homecoming of sorts for a local family. After opening in Pilsen in 2003, they moved to Florida five years ago. But the family couldn't keep away. So a few months ago, they re-opened on 35th Street, now focusing primarily on cakes. One of them is called a chocoflan, and it's unlike any other in town. 

Cristina Chavarria named her first bakery after her newborn son, Kristoffer. That baby is now 16 years old, helping her out in the kitchen at Kristoffer's Cakes on a quiet corner in McKinley Park. Her signature creation is the same: chocoflan.

“It's baked together, so I put cheese in my flan. I don't like wobbly flan, so I put cream cheese in there,” Chavarría said.
