Description:

There's simply no sweeter treat than the cupcake. Ever since the pint-sized-dessert trend swept the nation, shops peddling these personal pastries have excited the child within each of us—and with this guided tour, you can sample the best frostings and flavors in the city.

Start at Kara's Cupcakes, the vision of executive pastry chef Kara Haspel Lind. Next up is SusieCakes, which gives a nod to the 1950s with its stainless steel and sea-foam green decor. Peer through a glass window into the kitchen to see how the onsite baking is done.

Next, visit Caffe Dolci, which offers the Italian desserts that owner Aliah Warmund felt compelled to bring to San Francisco after extensive travels in Italy. Delight in her unique gelato cupcake, which tastes as good as it sounds.

Taste a delectable cream puff at Pacific Puffs, founded by brothers Trent and Rhys Carvolth with inspiration from their mother's recipe. The brothers were so confident that they had a winner on their hands that both of them quit their corporate day jobs to start this specialty bakery, and neither one has looked back.

Your tour concludes at La Boulange, which brings the authentic French café experience to life in San Francisco. Founder Pascal Rigo has truly lived the traditional French art of baking, as his deep understanding comes from years spent working for prestigious bakers in Paris, and you can taste the authenticity for yourself.
