Dorothy won't be nostalgic for Oz when she steps into Kate's Frosting, a recent San Antonio favorite.
Nestled along quiet Main Street in Monte Vista, Kate's Frosting is a colorful oasis hidden inside a plain storefront.
Girls might be immediately drawn to the goodies on the right - boutique accessories of all sorts. Children might like the back room made of chalkboards. But one look forward will reveal that the real goodies are located straight ahead - the cupcake counter.
Chocolate and vanilla play the leading roles, but they are joined by a regular cast of Carrot Cake, Ruby Slipper (red velvet), strawberry and lemon. Depending on the day of your attendance, you might find such guest stars as Lucky 7UP (soaked in 7UP with a lemon-lime frosting), Pina Colada (tropical pineapple coconut), or the shocking Margarita - complete with a straw!
Kate also adds a twist on a Texas Favorite, Big Red.
Cupcake parties and cupcake catering are other services that bring sweetness to a whole new level.
The young entrepreneur followed her dreams of owning a store that sells cupcakes by opening the shop in 2007. Word-of-mouth enthusiasm prompted her to open an Alamo Heights location, Cupcake Cabin, tucked in a secret little corner across from Caimbridge Elementary.
One bite, and you will be a regular.
