Sometimes people have trouble living up to their parents' expectations. Kara Haspel Lind, of Kara's Cupcakes, is the daughter of a dentist. When Kara left her job as an advertising sales executive to enroll in pastry school, no one knew she'd turn out to be the founder of a West Coast icon. Her bakeries are all green-friendly, from baking with local organic ingredients to using compostable boxes and utensils, so you can feel good about saving the environment while enjoying a sweet snack. Kara's Cupcakes have an adorable signature fondant topper, and a distinctive frosting silhouette. In the neighborhood? Pick up a Fleur de Sel chocolate cupcake with caramel filling, chocolate ganache frosting and fleur de sel. — Marilyn He, 11/8/2012
