Semi-Sweet

A quick update on Sweet, the new cupcake store I wrote about on Tuesday. I stopped in Wednesday night to check it out, and despite a steep price of $3.25 each (whoa!), I bought a Sweet Cake and a Dark Chocolate, both with chocolate frosting. I'm no culinary expert, but I'd like to think I know my cake. And I have to say, I was not blown away. The cupcakes were good — better than those at Kickass Cupcakes in Somerville for sure — but they were not as moist and good and, ahem, sweet as those at Shaw's (yes, I really just said that). And I liked the vanilla one more than the chocolate one too.

I'll be honest: because they're so pricey and so small, I expected a higher quality 'cake. But I'm a generous soul and I'll allow that I had high expectations. So this will not be the last time I go to Sweet for cupcakes. I just won't be rushing back.
