Cupcakes San Fran Style at Kara's Cupcakes

Ghirardeli Square is best known for the famous chocolate shop and its ice cream sundays.  But now it also hosts another dessert attraction: Kara's Cupcakes.

Even if I could be tired of the cupcake trend, I would have had to check it out just based on the window displays alone.

I would have liked school a lot more if these had been around when I was there.

My sister and I got chocolate peanut butter and chocolate coconut  cupcakes.  Both had rich cakes and light, balanced frosting (not an easy feat with peanut butter icing). 

Both were gone quickly.
