Traditional pound cake with caramelized apples and brown sugar. $2.45
Starbucks, San Francisco CA

As far was “American” Starbucks pastries go, this was actually ok. It’s not the best cake ever, but it was at least moist and didn’t taste like cardboard (like most of the crap the pass off as pastries).

California poppy (Eschscholzia californica, Papaveraceae), Bon Tempe Lake.
