Sugar Sweet Sunshine is better known as a cupcake heaven, with flavors ranging from red velvet to pumpkin to pineapple with cream cheese icing. This morning however, I stopped in and tried the Raspberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Bun, a cloned offering which I originally sampled at Magnolia Bakery. It's a tender, airy flat-topped muffin painted with a lacy, crisp net of hard-candied raspberry preserves and a light-handed sprinkling of powdered sugar. With a steaming cup of peridot-colored sencha, it was the perfect pre-brunch breakfast for a Saturday morning.
