Almost 19 years ago, his parents, Carlos and Cristina Chavarria, named their shop in the Pilsen neighborhood after Kristoffer.

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.&nbsp;</p> <p>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.</p> <p>“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.</p> <p></p> <p><a class="button" href="https://abc7chicago.com/amp/kristoffers-cakes-chocoflan-tres-leches-mickinley-park/5127769/">View the Full Feature Here</a></p> https://www.kristofferscakes.com/blog/abc7-feature-kristoffers-cakes-in-mckinley-park-boasts-signature-creation-chocoflan 2 2024-11-20
