My favorites birthday coming up and want to pick up a couple of cupcakes for a surprise, but don't know the valley.  Any recommends for something easy/close off the 101. And no, not using cupcakes as a code for best hooters.

there is a Hooters in the valley.

Big P, say it ain't so!

bea's bakery

...and they'll give you a candle too, but the friggin' gift box costs more than the cupcake.

Is problematic.  I'm thereat least once  a week for the chocolate chip danishes and Morts for the corned beef.  Now I have to try and guess who the mongerers and the escorts are.

hot pastrami on rye w/a cup of matzoh ball soup at mort's, black & white cookie at bea's for me. you see a guy eating that, it's me.

Meh.  Not a real deli.  More of a coffee shop.  Since the Cocos down the street closed, it will do in a pinch.  As far as Jerrys goes, why isn't that barf on a plate house gone yet???

Steak & Eggs are a real treat after a wild session? Your cholesterol numbers will go up,,but hey what the heck?? LOL

Cupcakes are just the tip of the iceberg of goodness.
Chocolate Florintine Cookies
Chinese Almond Cookies
Danish
Don't get me started on the bread...
And the ultimate is the seven layer chocolate cake where each cake layer is only about a 1/4 inch.
Bea's is only a few blocks from my office which is both a good and bad thing depending on what the scale says.
