Kid Critic stopped by Kick*ss Cupcakes in Somerville on his way home from Boston. A lot of buzz is circling the cupcake shop. It is located in a urban area of Somerville in Davis Square on 378 Highland Avenue, its red storefront catches your eye. Parking was tough so try to search around. A selection of cupcakes are homemade in store offering a cupcake for everyone. The name may sound offensive but their cupcakes rocked, I had to admit! :D Since, they taste so good you can say “Hey, these are damn good kickass cupcakes! They are made fresh daily from scratch in small batches with the best all natural ingredients - no hydrogenated oils, no trans fats, no artificial flavors or preservatives. I had the Super Chocolate Cupcake and the classic original Chocolate Cupcake. Believe it or not the classic original Chocolate Cupcake was the tastiest and sweetest cupcake I’ve ever had. One of the popular flavors in the shop is the mojito cupcake with a sprig of mint on top of the delicious dessert - rum soaked cupcake with sugar cane lime frosting and fresh mint. The Super Chocolate cupcake is Chocolate brownie cupcake topped with bittersweet chocolate ganache and covered with chocolate shavings. They offer special limited editions, first come first serve cupcakes and cupcake of the day specialties. These flavors can be viewed on their website at http://www.kickasscupcakes.com/Flavors.php. For those with allergies, there are Gluten-Free cupcakes and wheat free cupcakes available but a call-ahead is recommended to check if they are available. They were the winner of Boston’s Best Improper Bostonian 2008 contest and Best of Boston’s 2008 winner too. So, try Kickass Cupcakes’ super duper cupcakes. The phone number is 617-628-CUPS.
