Carolyn from the blog LimeyG bends yer lughole visited new Boston bakery Sweet and had some great things to say (see her post for more photos):
First impression: well, they certainly are tiny.
But they're potent little packages. The karat cake (geddit?) was dense and spicy and topped with a thick, chewy cream cheese frosting, which just stopped short of being overwhelmingly sweet and harmonized well with the cake.
The lemon was bright and vibrant and much less sweet--it was restrained, refreshing, and cake and frosting came together as one flavor, rather than playing off each other as the carrot cupcake did. (Update: in the shower this morning, I realized what it reminded me of: Bigelow's lovely line of lemon unguents and ointments.)
Cappuccino was the most "grown-up" cake; more elegant and complex, rich without being ostentatious.
Chocolate was good ol' chocolate, all big friendly round bass notes, satisfyingly chocolate-puddingy.
