  We stopped in here for a break from the freedom trail and the chilly breeze. Delicious cupcakes and the best espresso and cappuccino weve had since being in Boston.

  Just received a cake today from Sweet Boston. It looks so great, then the frosting was like this really sweet, non-tasteful. The cake was like a pudding and not fully cooked or very condensed. The taste of the cake was tasteless as well. I could not recommend this bakery at all.

  Last winter I was invited to Sweet Cupcakes to check out their newly debuted winter cupcake flavors. Taste testing cupcakes was so much fun and I was thrilled when Spring finally sprung in Boston and I got asked back for a second round!All of Sweets cupcakes are baked fresh daily with fun and original flavors making their debut every season. If you dont have time to pop into one of their FOUR locations you can order their delicious treats online or by phone (617.247.2253). Sweet also offers cookies and cakes as well as gluten free options.Talk about variety.For those of you who havent tried a Sweet cupcake yet let me tell you about their frosting. They have the BEST frosting and each cupcake they serve gets a nice large dollop on top. Their frosting is so popular they sell Frosting Shots in each of their locations.I love their clean and simple packaging wrapped like a present to be opened.For their spring flavors I sampled the following:SWEET CONFETTI CAKE A party in a cake! Delectable Madagascar Bourbon vanilla bean cake bursting with bright bits of Belgian white chocolate. Finished with classic vanilla bean buttercream frosting and a confetti of colored sprinkles.If you love vanilla this cupcake is for you! I am always drawn to anything with sprinkles so I was really excited about this one. The sprinkles are even baked into the cupcake batter so each bite is bursting with color.CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZEL The Sweet and savory cupcake just in time for spring. Delectable chocolate cake with homemade chocolate buttercream, dipped in pretzel crumbs and finished with a miniature chocolate dipped pretzel.This cupcakes gives you that perfect mix of salty and sweet! I love the crunch from the pretzels mixed into that 2nd layer of frosting.CHOCOLATE CARAMEL Moist Belgian chocolate cake stuffed with homemade chocolate pudding and topped with Sweets chocolate buttercream and a melted caramel drizzle.Who doesnt love the combination of chocolate and caramel? The pudding center keeps the cake nice and moist. This cupcake is a must for a chocolate lover!PEEPS (offered through Easter) Sweets famous vanilla and chocolate cupcakes and signature handcrafted buttercreams dipped in vibrant colored sanding sugars and topped off with the famous marshmallow candy.I liked this traditional chocolate cupcake topped with vanilla buttercream. Adding the Peep makes for an extra special touch and a perfect treat to celebrate Easter with.FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE Flourless dark chocolate cake with a hint of espresso and a dusting of confectioners sugar.This one was a surprise for me because in my mind cupcakes always have frosting. I do love flourless chocolate cake and this cupcake version was one of the best Ive had. The top was nice and flaky and the inside was so rich and chocolate-y.MINT CHIP Creamy mint chips baked into a rich, moist dark brownie cupcake. Topped with mint infused buttercream frosting and finished with a dark chocolate ganache drizzle.I liked this cupcake because the mint was not over powering. The chocolate ganache mixed with the mint infused frosting was like eating and Andes Mint in frosting form!After taste testing each of them it was hard to pick a favorite they were all so good! Howeverif I had to pick just one it would have to be the Chocolate Caramel. While the Flourless Chocolate was right up there I have to be honest Sweet Cupcakes are all about the frosting! And the winning cupcake HAS to have frosting. I also liked that the Chocolate Caramel had the pudding filling on the inside. A little added surprise! simplygourmetinsouthie.com

  Got 4 cupcakes; 2 dark chocolate (my favorite) a red velvet and oreo. Love their cupcakes because they’re do light and the frosting isn’t heavy but still delicious! So far my favorite cupcakes from anywhere!!

  Exquisite Cupcakes. I’ve walked by this charming little cupcake shop so many times and was attracted immediately by the quaint 18th century brick building and the pretty interior. Although I don’t really like cakes very much, I had to pick up a dozen cupcakes for a birthday party, so this was my first choice. The selection was almost overwhelming — the classics like red velvet as well as some wild flavors, many different types available as minis too. I believe their actual bakery is in Hyde Park and fresh cupcakes are brought in each morning, so go early whenever possible to avoid potential dryness issues, since cakes made without stabilizers will dry out quickly.For a place called ‘Sweet’, what surprised me the most was how un-sweet the cakes were. They are denser than the typical cupcake, closer to a muffin, with concentrated flavors coming from the cake as well as the buttercream frosting or glaze. My particular favorites were the Boston Cream Pie and the Macaroon, distinctly french style. There are plenty of cute tables if you want to enjoy your treat with a cup of coffee or tea, and I imagine this would make an ideal mother-daughter city stop. The young girl behind the counter was so nice and helpful in choosing our dozen, and packaging them in a stylish brown box tied with a pink ribbon.
