    the perfect cupcake- moist fluffy cake, topped with ethereal creamy frosting that's not too sweet or gritty. i especially like the chocolate cupcakes here.

    Gluten-free? Call ahead and they will dress your GF cupcake with your choice of frosting flavor. Perfect!

    SUPER bitchy attitude from the cupcake attendant. I'd skip Kara's and go to one of the other cupcake spots.
