Kick ASS!

Cupcakes. How I love thee.

Truly, cupcakes are my weakness. Sure, I like plain old cake, too. But there's something about having my own individual baked creation in all it's crumbly frosting-y glory that makes me so delighted and giddy.

And, what could be better than cupcakes from a place called Kickass Cupcakes! Just off the center of Davis Square in Somerville, MA, this small cupcake shop is filled with any cupcake you can imagine -- anything from your basic chocolate or vanilla, to mojito cupcakes, to champagne bubbly cupcakes, to cupcakes for your cat!!


D was sweet to bring me 6 cupcakes after I took my boards. Does he know what I love or what!? Anyway, they were all moist, delicious, sweet, (mostly) memorable. I don't remember what all of them are, but here's what I do recall:

Lucky Cupcake (top middle in photo): Luscious lemon cupcake with white chocolate buttercream and candied ginger, comes with a fortune
Limited Edition Champagne Bubbly (bottom left): Vanilla cupcake with champagne soaked strawberry center and pink champagne icing
Super Chocolate (bottom middle): Chocolate brownie cupcake topped with bittersweet chocolate ganache and covered with chocolate shavings
The Mojito (bottom right): Rum-soaked cupcake with sugar cane lime frosting and fresh mint

Ok, so I don't remember the other two. But I do know they were tasty!

I highly recommend Kickass Cupcakes for fun, creative cupcakes.

However... my loyalties still lie at Party Favors in Brookline. Their cupcakes and cakes are pretty basic chocolate or vanilla. But, the cupcakes are superbly moist and the frosting is just divine. You'll have to try both and tell me what your preferences are!
