I am typically an ice cream or frozen yogurt girl, but when in the company of my boyfriend (an any kind of sweets fan) we switch it up in order to satiate his ever present sweet tooth. After a long and VERY hilly walk through the city we ended up in Ghirardelli Square; my boyfriend's mouth watering for Kara's Cupcakes. I personally think cupcakes are almost too cute to eat, yet I manage to be talked into doing so on a fairly regular basis. Kara's in my opinion is better than Sprinkles, has the perfect amount of frosting to cake ratio and I have yet to hit a sugar low after devouring.
I like to try the latest seasonal flavors but my absolute favorites are:
Chocolate Velvet, Sweet Vanilla & Kara's Karrot {His: Vanilla Chocolate} & {Hers: Sweet Vanilla (with Oscar's themed star to top)}
Calling all San Francisco tourists, be sure to add a trip to Kara's on your must do list!

I'm not really a cup cake person myself, but your photos make me wanna eat one. They look very yummy.
Wow, Ghirardelli square... that's one place I haven't been in forever! I'll have to hurry up and go before the summer tourists arrive.
Great photos!! SF is definitely on my list of places to visit soon so I will definitely keep it in mind! Is this your new rebel if so, amazing job! :)
Better than Sprinkles?! For me that's hard to say. I love both places! Depends on what flavor I'm in the mood for! Yum, yum, yum. Wish I had a cupcake now with my coffee ;) -Sheila
I ADORE Kara's Cupcakes! Honestly, I would live there if I could - the ambiance is just so adorable. It's as if you've tumbled down the rabbit hole a la Alice in Wonderland with each visit. Ah, now I'm craving a cupcake!! :)
Oh I passed by that place it's next to walnut creek winery?? I'll have to check it out next time .. if your into wine u and ur bf should do a wine tasting next door .. i would recommend you to taste the muscat it's a sweet dessert wine it would def. go well with your cupcakes :D
I was wondering when you would add Kara's to your SF "Gems" list because I know Kara's holds a special place in your heart!
Omgosh. These. Look. Absolutely. Delicious.

cupcakes are so pretty. it's a shame i don't like them.
So good! I just wish I ate them more slowly so I could actually taste them
HAHA Tanner! Amazing photos Alicia!
I'm soooo hungry right now and those look amazing! I could easily eat one for every meal of the day! If only I had the metabolism of a 6yr old...
YUM! I love cupcakes! My next trip to SF I'll have to try both Sprinkles and Kara's.
And you're pictures look great! Did you use your new camera? I'm glad you got a canon. Now we can exchange tips :)
@Nicole, seriously! I wish I could eat like a 6 year old too.
@Kyla, yes it's my new canon! I'm having way too much fun taking pictures of everything and everywhere I go! Playing photog and embarrassing Erica has turned into my job. hehe
duly noted :D
I die for Kara's Cupcakes!
