Price: $Walk into Sift and smell the sweet scent of sugar throughout the shop. The case displaying sweet treats is very inviting and calls you to peruse it. Cupcakes at Sift Cupcake and Dessert Bar go for $3 each or $30 per dozen. They also offer cupcake chocolates for $2 and frosting shots (the thought of that just scares me) for $1.50 a piece. 
French macaroons, ice cream sammys, whoopie cookies, and profiteroles are available too.
I opted to try one of their Sonoma County famous cupcakes - Peach Me I'm Dreaming - It's a vanilla cake with a graham cracker crust, filled with peach jam, and topped with peach mousse and white chocolate shavings. I found the cupcake to be good. I would have liked the cake to have a lighter texture and not to fall apart quite so much, but that's just my preference for cake. I appreciated how the filling and frosting weren't overly sweet, but a nice balance of quantities as well as the attention to detail.
It's hard to judge a place by one cupcake alone, so I'm definitely willing to go back, but would look to trying one of the chocolate or red velvet versions.

Chinese food to-go boxes make this an easy treat to pick up and share with a friend.
There are also now locations in Cotati, Napa, and there's even a cupcake truck.
