Sweet for My Sweet, Sugar for My Honey...

After watching three seasons of Showtime's Dexter religiously for a whole month, I started to crave donuts. For those who watch and have watched the show, you understand why; the lovable serial killer brought donuts to the station daily as a part of his quest for normalcy. And so, I searched for the best bakery in the Bay Area, instead I stumbled upon this cute little cupcake store in Santana Row called Kara's Cupcakes.

Call me crazy for getting excited over a cupcake, especially when it costs $3.25 each, but so far Kara's cupcakes delights my sweet tooth. I got the Fleur de Sel, a chocolate cupcake filled with caramel goodness, and the chocolate velvet, which is a normal chocolate cupcake topped with a chocolate buttercream. Careful, it's rich. Lastly, I tried the Carrot cupcake, which had nothing new to offer. It's not really Kara's fault; no one can top Bellagio's Jean Philippe's Carrot Cake, which is a must visit every time you're in Las Vegas.

So, next time you're in Santana Row: try these: Chocolate Velvet and Fleur de Sel, not this: Carrot Cupcake.
