Cupcakery!

Boston.com, the online Boston Globe, has a roundup of places with great cupcakes around Boston. Glaringly absent from the list: Finale, which has some excellent cupcakes that are some of the better priced gourmet cupcakes I have seen. Glaringly on the list: Kickass Cupcakes, whose cupcakes were rather too dry the last time I had them.

They ended the roundup with a poll here, and I am croggled that Kickass Cupcakes is coming in at #2.

I voted for Finale by clicking "other".

I hope Kickass Cupcakes has improved their cupcakes, I truly do. However, as they are more expensive than what I can get at Finale - and to me, nowhere near as good - I bring my custom elsewhere.

In related cupcakery, America's Test Kitchen recently did a chocolate cupcake recipe that you can access here if you register (it's free to do so). It looked pretty yummy on the TV screen but I do admit my smellovision is still on the fritz.

I think Finale was left out because the article focused specifically on cupcake bakeries, and they do a lot of other desserts, and light dinners... might be misremembering, though.

I had read it as they were including places with great cupcakes whether or not they were just cupcake shops. I gave it a second reading to see if I had misread.

Party Favors (page 3), PetsiPies (page 4), Fiore's (page 9), Lulu's (page 10) and Sugar Bakery (page 11) all have cupcakes on the menu but do more than just cupcakes. As such, I think them skipping Finale is a shame.
