Every time I see one of Kara's cupcakes, my mouth starts to water. It's inevitable. Pictured here is Berries & Cake.
Before I gush about their incredible selection, I have to talk about one of their most famous creations...the Breakfast Delight. (Top right.) It's brunch in a cupcake.
It is a cinnamon cupcake made with bacon and finished with maple buttercream syrup. THEN, it's topped with pancakes, waffles, french toast, bacon, sausage and a pipette of maple syrup!
Other favorites include Cookie Dough S'mores (pictured), Oreo Lava Cake, Chocolate Nutella Cannoli, and Dulce De Leche Cheesecake. All are heavenly.
They've also got booze-infused cupcakes for adults. Pictured is a seasonal Sangria. Regularly available infusions include Champagne and Pink Lemonade Margarita.
