Rachel at the food blog Fork It Over, Boston! has been tasting cupcakes all over the Boston area, and here's what she thought of Cherry Bomb Bakery in Brighton Center:
When I went there, they didn't have $1s and either didn't have or had run out of proper cupcake packaging: my three cupcakes were unceremoniously dumped together in a brown paper lunch bag, falling into each other and mingling frosting a bit.
We got the Red Velvet Sexiness (red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream), Chocolate Stout (stout cake with Guinness buttercream and a chocolate-dipped pretzel), and a mini chocolate. The flavors were all great and the frosting was light and fluffy, but it had some adhesion problems. (Red Velvet's tower of buttercream toppled easily.) I was particularly fond of the Chocolate Stout because, honestly, what's better than beer, chocolate, and pretzels? (Answer: nothing.)

But they were tasty! I especially liked the surprise of finding espresso beans under my frosting on my red velvet.
