Peanut Butter Sundae at Fume

I had the Ooey-Gooey Chocolate & Peanut Butter Sundae at Fume Bistro & Bar in Napa just the other day. Just the name alone made me want to order it...ooey-gooey. YUM!!

At first I was a bit thrown with the chocolate-walnut gelato as the base of this sundae served on a slightly curved plate. But in the end, it actually worked well with the whole sundae.

"Oreo" cookies, chocolate dipped marshmallows (little rectangle chocolate pieces) and peanut butter bon-bons (round frosty chocolate covered peanut butter ice cream balls) are all house-made. A little squiggle of caramel and chocolate sauce along with a nice dollop of whipped cream top this whole treat off. The menu had peanut brittle listed as a topping on the sundae. I never found it...would have given this dessert a great crunch factor.

The peanut butter bon-bons have great peanut butter flavor and a nice creamy texture. Loved the chocolate covered marshmallows, gave the sundae a fun texture and great goo factor.

Fume Bistro & Bar is located just a little upvalley in Napa. 4050 Byway East at Wine Country Avenue.

a couple more yummy flavors at Kara's Cupcakes

So, I have tried a couple more flavors at Kara's Cupcakes.
Chocolate Velvet
Chocolate cupcake with velvety bittersweet chocolate buttercream
This icing just melts in your mouth. So darn good...I think it is one of their best sellers too. I can see why. The chocolate cake is nice and moist with an Italian Buttercream icing. The icing is sprinkled with little chocolate flakes that melt in your mouth along with the icing. YUM!

Fleur De Sel
Chocolate cupcake with caramel filling, ganache frosting and fleur de sel
A rich, thick dark chocolate ganache frosting. Almost fudge like in consistency.
I was pleasantly surprised when I bit into this chocolate cupcake and found the gooey caramel filling. I kept thinking, hmmm...fleur de sel is usually accompanied with caramel these days, seems to be the big thing and from the looks of the cupcake, you think there is no caramel. Sure it could have said it on the cute little tag by the cupcakes, but who is looking at the tags...I am focused on the cupcakes.

NEWEST addition
Sweet Smores
Chocolate cupcake with a graham cracker crust and toasted marshmallow frosting
Yep, I was in a chocolate mood this day. The bottom of the cupcake liner is where the graham cracker crust lives. It didn't necessarily cling to my cake...it was a bit too crumbly. No problem, I just squished my cake against it and it hung on nicely. haha The marshmallow frosting had a nice toasting to the top of it. Gave it a great appearance. A new, fun flavor. Keep it up Kara!!!! I love your flavors.

Sorry, I do not have any pics of these...ate them too fast. haha
Next time for sure...I promise.
Kara's Cupcakes is located at 3249 Scott Street (at Chestnut) in San Francisco, CA
