A flawlessly crafted cake trimmed with a sweetly layered frosting lid is ideal for any event, such as a party, a holiday party, or a thumb-war victory party. Fasten your sweet tooth: for $12, today’s Groupon lets you choose one 6-inch cake from among the 22 offered at Sugar Butter Flour (a $25 value), a bakery that was recently named the best bakery in the Bay Area by CityVoters. This Groupon is valid at the Sunnyvale and Campbell locations.

Every item in Sugar Butter Flour is baked fresh daily using the finest, preservative-free ingredients with no artificial flavors or intelligence. Head Pastry Chef Irit Ishai combines unparalleled dedication with more than 15 years of professional pastry making when crafting every recipe prepared in the shop. The bakers whisk together a passion for excellence and a little sprinkle of love into all of the pastries, prompting local bags of ignored gas-station doughnuts to weep frosting tears.

The choice of delectable cakes includes dark-chocolate truffle, red velvet, white-chocolate raspberry mousse, hazelnut napoleon, chocolate Grand Marnier, and more. One of the most popular choices is the chocolate-wrapped tiramisu, which shouldn’t be mistaken for tiara monsieur, the fashionable French headband for men. There is also a flourless chocolate-raspberry-mousse cake ($5 in addition to the Groupon). Call ahead to order if you have a specific cake in mind.

Sugar Butter Flour also offers custom cakes for weddings or Pine Wood Derby strategy meetings. The value of this Groupon can be used toward custom-cake orders (call to get a quote) or to upgrade the size of the 6-incher to more-mammoth cake proportions with an 8-inch (add $5) or 9-inch cake (add $10). Whether you’re buying a stock cake or a one-of-a-kind sweetness circle, Sugar Butter Flour provides a level of commitment sure to impress even the most cocoa-dependent sweet tooth.

Reviews

CityVoters awarded Sugar Butter Flour Best Bakery 2008, and Metroactive says:

• Look at the artistry behind the chocolate marquise and or the delicately chocolate-wrapped tiramisu. They're almost too pretty to eat. Almost. I especially liked the chocolate hazelnut Napoleon…Carrot cake is a familiar dessert, but Sugar Butter Flour's version is the best I've had...Silicon Valley's drought of quality desserts is over. Next time I'm out to dinner and faced with a choice of the usual suspects for dessert, I'm tempted to pass and head to Sugar Butter Flour instead. – Stett Holbrook

More than 200 Yelpers give 3.5 stars to the Campbell location, and nearly 350 give the Sunnyvale spot four stars:

• …this place had the best red velvet cake. I loved their hazelnut truffle and chocolate cakes also. Everything is beautifully decorated. – Julie M.
• Such a small shop but such a lovely array of delicious and savory treats! – Meghan B.
• This cake wrapped serving of dark chocolate mousse, topped with a praline cluster was divinely delicious, but not sickly rich. You can tell they use quality ingredients and that helps the medicine go down...and the service was amazing! – Emily T.
