Kooba "Devin" in Chocolate - beautious!
Yesterday I tried a cupcake from Sugar Butter Flour (Campbell, CA.) I have never been there or tried anything from there before now and, since I am doing my great cupcake experiment, I wanted to try one :) Was supposed to try Kara’s (at Santana Row) but we forgot in our post-brunch-get-to-the-shopping haze :)
My friend bought 4 cupcakes. 3 of them looked like a homemade version of the historic Hostess Cupcake.

The 4th stepchild cupcake looked like a vanilla/whitecake with chocolate frosting. But I did not try that one. I was still so amazingly full from brunch that it seemed like I would be committing a deadly sin (GLUTTON!) by eating more…But…there they were…
SugarButterFlour cupcakes
So I had 1/2 of the Hostess looking one (the officially and aptly named “Chocolate Cupcake”.) My friend kept them in the fridge so they were cold (she had picked them up that morning so they were fresh.) I think this actually helped as the cake was still moist because they were fresh from that morning and the frosting was cold so it seemed more fudgey. Quite tasty. I would definitely say better than the 2 chocolate flavors I have tried at Sprinkles (have tried the Black & White and Vanilla Milk Chocolate flavors there.)
So I feel I need to try other flavors there (Red Velvet and perhaps the Coconut.) http://www.sugarbutterflour.com/products/Cupcakes.htm
So onto the next place. I am thinking I *might* make some homemade red velvet this weekend! Yikes….:)
