The reason behind the one star (though it should have been zero stars really): 

We ordered our son's birthday cake from Kara's Palo Alto and designed the cake and submitted the deposit and all paperwork a month in advance. We talked to Ashley and emailed back and forth three times and placed the order in person. We arrived on the due date to pick up the order only to find that Ashley had misfiled our paper and there was no cake. The party was in an hour and I had no cake for my four year old son. On top of that Ashley just shrugged and went inside without even a proper apology or solution to the problem she had created. I was clearly very upset but not a single person from Kara's bothered to reach out to us. Nor did they refund the deposit. Clearly for them it was just another order that they had messed up. Very disappointed that such poor quality service still manages to survive in the Bay Area.

Best cupcakes around by far. They are so light and fluffy and yummy. I love their chocolate one with the tiny square chocolate sprinkles. They also have fun themed cupcakes for each holiday. Super cute and fun place with great views and outdoor seating!

My favorite cupcake bakery! The cupcakes here are moist and flavorful (without being too sweet), and are decorated beautifully. I also love how they make mini cupcakes as well, for those who don't want to commit to a large cupcake.

This place must be doing extremely well because I came here once an hour before closing and there was nobody out front, I came in and was told there's nothing left to buy. Couldn't you bake several times a day? Or close earlier?

They have some interesting flavors. This season they are offering an organic strawberries and cream flavor which is delicious. However, their cupcakes seem to dry out faster than those of other cupcake stores. I also find the buttercream frosting a little too heavy (too much butter instead of cream).
