"As cupcake popularity peaks, local taste is put to test," The Northeastern News
They try cupcakes from South End Buttery, Lulu's Bakery, Kickass Cupcakes, and Sweet Tooth Boston. (If anyone has photos from any of these bakeries, send 'em to us, okay? thanks!)
There is no question that the best cupcakes in the city come from Sweet Tooth Boston in South Boston. Just blocks from the Broadway T stop on the Red Line, this tiny corner shop catches the eyes of all who pass by it. Based on West Broadway, Sweet Tooth actually specializes in wedding cakes, but their cupcake reputation is quickly growing. While only five types are displayed each day, the sight of one of their cupcakes alone is enough to make your mouth water. These huge cakes are practically twice the size of any of the other bakeries, and the selections are just as unique. Each serving is like a miniature wedding cake, complete with ornate finishing.
The most eye-catching of the bunch was the "Make A Wish" cupcake, which was a vanilla cake with a layer of chocolate cake inside, featuring a chocolate dipped fortune cookie on top of a rich milk chocolate shell. Also, the Peanut Butter and Jelly cake was astoundingly delicious with fresh, whipped peanut butter icing mixed with fresh strawberry preserves inside a rich chocolate base.

PLUS - After the first time I had a Petsi's cupcake (at a party) I showed up at the shop the next afternoon with a friend to get another one. The owner, Renee, had just locked up, but one look at our pathetic, begging faces and she went back inside and brought us out 2 cupcakes for free!
