Instead of baking a cake for Chris’s birthday this year we decided to pick out some goodies from a new specialty bakery called Kickass Cupcakes that opened recently in Davis Square. We definitely made the right choice. Why bake a whole cake with one boring flavor when you can pick up a 6 pack of gorgeous and original cupcakes to share?! Our unanimous favorite was the mojito which is a rum soaked cupcake topped with sugar cane lime frosting and fresh mint. While I really wanted to eat all six cupakes at once, we somehow managed to hold ourselves back, but just barely. From the top (left to right) we happily consumed:
- A vanilla cupcake with chocolate buttercream frosting
- The Super Chocolate (a chocolate brownie cupcake topped with bittersweet chocolate ganache and covered with chocolate shavings)
- The much raved about Mojito
- A chocolate cupcake with chocolate buttercream frosting
- A Banana Cream cupcake (vanilla cupcake and custard, bananas, graham crackers, and whipped cream)
- And finally Cinnamon Chai Pecan Sticky (a spiced up cupcake covered with gooey caramel pecan topping)

A rum soaked cupcake? Are you sure? I’d take the Cinnamon Chai Pecan Sticky cupcake over the mojito version any day!
Custard on cupcakes should be outlawed, by the way.
Hey Dylan,
Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it 🙂
I would pick chocolate on chocolate. My wife picks vanilla with chocolate. 🙂
This has totally inspired me; guess who is making Mojito cupcakes this weekend.
I’m a little nervous about the frosting; I really don’t like buttercream style frosting but for the sake of the cakes I’m going to risk it.
I would want the banana cream!
