Yellow lemon cake of heaven

Please help me identify this snack cake!
I went to this dinner last night (I'm in the Bay Area), where, for dessert, they served a selection of tiny cakes, including one that I now must have.
It was about 1.5in in diameter, a circular, lemon cake covered in a solid, daffodil-yellow glaze with white stripes on top. It definitely seemed store-bought.
Please help me identify this cake and where I might possibly acquire more. Thanks!

Is there any reason you can't ask the people who hosted the dinner?

Response by poster: @Think_Long: I'm pretty sure it wasn't.
@brainmouse: I have contacted someone at the event, and they've directed me to other people. It seems I haven't been contacting the right person, yet, as none of them seem to know. Until I find out, I thought I'd see if the hivemind would know. But thanks for your suggestion.

I could swear that these were made in a lemon frosted variety at some point.

Our local bakeries of distinction include Citizen Cake and Miette. You might go on a scouting mission to both and see what you find.

Best answer: Was it these? They are sold at Costo in packs of 24.

D'oh, Costco, not Costo, obviously. Those cakes are even better if you put them in the freezer.
