    Native inspiration in San Francisco

    Made with locally grown ingredients in San Francisco and international influences in Las Vegas, the nation’s affinity for the decadent treat shows no signs of waning. Every ingredient at Kara’s Cupcakes’ six locations is sourced from the Bay Area, which the renowned bakery calls home. Pastry chef and owner Kara Haspel Lind fills her Strawberry Cream cupcakes with organic strawberries from Watsonville’s Yerena Farms and tops them with cream cheese frosting.
