Cupcakes. I adore them and I'm always on the prowl for ones I have not tried. I've been itching to visit Kara's Cupcakes in Ghirardelli Square ever since they were under construction. It's taken me about a year to make it there, but yes, it was worth the wait. Not only are the cupcakes adorable, delicious and bountiful, they're made with local ingredients...many of them organic. As I was walking back to my seat with one of their knives, I noticed that it was 100% biodegradable. Excellent.
