Mix and match your flavors at Cups and Cakes

I just discovered (thanks Jackson) San Francisco's Cups and Cakes via the Weekly Yelp for SF (can't find a web link), and they look awesome. Why? Mainly because you can mix and match your favorite cake and frosting flavors. Angel food cake with blackberry frosting? Dark chocolate cake with pink lemonade frosting? Go for it!

Plus I just booked a trip to San Francisco for Halloween weekend, so I am making a little list of bakeries to hit up while I'm in town. Also check out their reviews on Yelp.
