Elaine'S

My name is Anthony Jenkins and I am the owner of Elaine's. As a child growing up in the Bay Area, I watched as my very competitive relatives fought for kitchen supremacy each holiday. A Thanksgiving celebration with my family is like a top chef finale only instead of facing 4 judges your facing 20, each of whom believe in there heart of hearts, that they truly deserve a Michelin Star. My family, bless each of their hearts, believes in equality and speaking the truth. Translation; if my 10 year old niece made stuffing and it’s not good, her and her parents will hear suggestion from each guest on how to improve on her next attempt at age 15, because we won't be letting her cook it again, or anything for that matter, for at least 5 more years. Needless to say, this environment produces thick-skinned culinary specialist. After many failures, I was fortunate to meet a sweet genius. Together we worked on and perfected cupcakes that received the stamp of approval from each one of my self-proclaimed Michelin Star deserving family members. With the most difficult task behind, Elaine’s was established in January of this year and specializes in cupcakes designed specifically to delight the most sophisticated palette. We offer familiar favorites such as Carrot Cake and Maroon Velvet. However, we are definitely known best for our decadent specialties such as Wicked Chocolate, a semisweet chocolate cake kissed with rum topped by a bittersweet chocolate ganache cream cheese frosting and dark chocolate 100% Cacao shavings, and our Tiramisu with coffee liqueur infused vanilla base lying below a blanket of mocha cream cheese frosting garnished with crushed chocolate covered espresso beans. If these small delights have the ability to win over each of the Simon Cowell's in my large family, then I know you and your guests at your next event will love them! Our recent relocation to San Francisco allows us to provide increased services to the entire Bay Area
