“ Kara's Cupakes have the best bang-for-your-buck value in the City's cupcake portfolio. I went out of my way to the Marina today in search of Kara's Fleur Sel, a chocolate cake filled with caramel goodness, topped with soft chocolate ganache, and finished with fleur del sel. Sadly, there weren't any left, and I was abruptly informed that a fresh batch wouldn't be ready "for a while." I opted instead for Kara's Karrot and a Raspberry Dazzle, and here's where the value starts to show. I'm somewhat skeptical of the value of organic ingredients, but here, every single ingredient, from the cream to the butter to the chocolate, announced its superior quality. What happens when a great baker uses the best dairy products, the freshest eggs, and high quality flour? For one, the cream cheese on the carrot cake was soft like whipped egg whites, silky, airy, and calming. The raspberry buttercream atop the chocolate cake on the other tasted perfectly smooth as well. These are the best $3 cupcakes. ”
