Cupcakes from Baked SF

I will write up my Day 6 and 7 Cupcake a Day when I get home, am at
SFO waiting to fly back to New York. It was a whirlwind but I got to
try a new bakery, Baked (http://www.bakedsf.com), in Potrero Hill. We
were heading to a dinner party. And in a taxi so I called ahead and
they told me which flavors they had. I asked for two of each to make a
dozen, but added the giant gingerbread one when I saw it upon
entering. They were $2 each and $4 for the gingerbread.

We tasted a few and all had mousse-like frosting, some with chocolate
shavings. There was a mocha one that I was supposed to split with my
boyfriend but he ate the whole thing. I snagged a tiny bit of frosting
and it goes with my opinion if the gingerbread: for serious fans only.
The gingerbread was way too intense for me but the other guests
gobbled it right up. Which is another reason cupcakes make such
perfect party foods: they're great for sharing and it's highly
unlikely that they'll go uneaten!

If the Mocha cupcake is like the one you get in their Red Hook shop (which I am sure it is) then your boyfriend did the right thing. That is the absolute best cupcake I have ever had.

I'm pretty sure that the only thing the Baked here in Portrero Hill shares with the Baked in Red Hook is the name.

Ahhh Gingerbread. Way too intense for me too. There is just something about the taste.
