One of my favorite places to go to in San Francisco is Kara’s Cupcakes. Their cupcakes are so light and delicious I always go more than once.
Since coming back from our trip in December, we decided we were going to find a delicious cupcake shop closer to us.
We’ve had some wins and some misses (to protect the innocent, we won’t mention the misses.)
Today though, was another win. Jeff and the good idea of googling to find other local Cupcake War winner and found: Suite 106 Cupcakery.
We made the trip out to VG, had dinner and then went on search for this winning cupcake store. At first we thought it would be it’s own storefront. Quickly we realized it was actually inside the food court. What? A cupcake store inside a hot, humid food court?
They had a limited supply and offered up a sample of their coconut cupcake. After tasting it, seeing their “store” I was immediately on alert. I had a feeling these were not going to be good.
But them Jeff reminded me, hey they won Cupcake Wars! They have to be good.
So we bought three: Pumpkin Pie, Red Velvet (the winning cupcake) and Peanut Butter & Jelly.
What was that? You only see two? Yeah, I ate the PB&J cupcake before taking a picture. Here is the wrapper.
The PB&J was the BEST cupcake I’ve had. The cake was airy and moist and the peanut butter frosting was light and sweet. It had a raspberry filling on the inside that added just the right amount of tartness to perfectly balance the sweet.
(I also just had a taste of Jeff’s Pumpkin Pie – soooo good.)
We are definitely going back there soon.
PS – Danny they have a cupcake called Pancakes & BACON.
