3 stars because I'm a student and paying so much for a cupcake is painful.
Nonetheless, the cupcakes are goooooooooood. I had the mojito. 1 and a half actually. Oh so yummy. Oh so yummy.
I'll have to save up for the other flavors. Check it out!
What's going on with all of the Kick Ass haters?
This place is fun, adorable, and full of yummy and different selections. The pricing is perfectly acceptable for the level of cupcake you're receiving. My only gripe with this place is that they close so early. Because honestly, my cupcake cravings come after 9pm. I drove by on Sunday and they were closed before 8:00. My biggest suggestion is stay open until 11:00, and I would be there way more often...which might not be a good thing.
I love their little cupcake boxes that make sure you have no squished cupcakes on the ride home. The staff is friendly, and the line moves quick - A lot of people just stand around deciding what treat they are going to get, if you're ready just ask the person in front of you if they have decided yet.
Do they offer milk? That's another suggestion I have. Last time I went I had to make an extra stop on the way home.
I've been meaning to try their junk food cupcake, it has chips and pretzels and all sorts of other crap on top. I might just fall in love with it...
Suddenly, I sound like a lonely cat lady that wants cupcakes to be delivered to her front door.
Next time you're in Davis stop by for yourself.
I took the journey out from central Boston for a cupcake adventure. I had seen this place on yelp and was prepared to give it a go. Their website was fun and informative so off I went!
I ordered a selection of cakes to try, my favourite two were the carrot cake and the mochiatto. The icing on the carrot was thick and luscious and cake moist and nicely spiced. The mochiatto was rich and goey caramel centre- drool!
I wasn't sold on the red velvet... Not red enough for me and the fortune cupcake, although cute and fun, was a little dry.
All in all a great little place, lovely friendly staff also!
Quite frankly, I've baked better cupcakes using an Easy Bake oven at age 8.
The Creme Brulee cupcake ($2.75) I sampled was unacceptably dry. The base was at once crumbly and also stuck to the paper liner as if it hadn't even been pre-greased or -- gasp -- as if to draw attention to the fact that perhaps no butter had been used. The actual custard part was decent tasting but again, not properly executed as it was a goopy mess.
I threw the rest out, and if you've ever seen me you know I don't exactly turn my back on desserts.
I'm tempted to do some "ass kicking" of my own and dole out one star for the use of Comic Sans as a website typeface.
I'm surprised people are mad hating on Kick-Ass Cupcakes. It wasn't great but it wasn't AWFUL. I wouldn't be mad if someone gave me one of their cupcakes but I wouldn't be ecstatic about it, either. I'd just say something like, "oh, cupcake ... cool. Thanks." Because it's a cupcake.
I sampled bites of three different kinds with coworkers. Surprisingly, I didn't mind the chocolate cuppy ... didn't really taste like chocolate all that much, which is probably why I liked it. The berry thinger--no idea what its God-given name is--was all right, if a shmidge dry and rather like a very, very sweet muffin. I did think the mojito cupcake was pretty disappointing. It didn't taste anything like a mojito but more like plain vanilla cake with an underwhelming lime frosting. (A note on the frosting: they apply it liberally, and to me, it's extremely sweet. Like if we used Scovilles as a measure of sweetness instead of hotness, this frosting is the ghost chili of the fructose world. 100 million Scovilles!) The buttercream on the chocolate cuppy was also a tad gritty. I felt like I was eating a bad clam. No one wants their cupcakes reminiscent of clams.
But for all of that, were any of the cupcakes terrible? No. Were they kick-ass? No. Can I make better ones by myself? Possibly, if I didn't drink every time I baked. I can't speak for the service and decor of this place, as my cupcakes reached me at my desk (O Happy Wednesday.)
That being said, someone else mentioned the abject suckiness of their website, and it behooves me to agree. Comic Sans? That's not very kick ass. There are about twenty thousand more kick-ass typefaces than school-newsletter-daycare-sign-mother-email-loving Comic Sans. Please hire a web designer well-versed in Flash and type design. Graphic design ... now that is truly kick-assery.
While a second return to Kickass Cupcakes leaves me underwhelmed, the entire experience was a vast improvement over my initial visit two years ago.
Considering the hype surrounding this cupcake shop, the claims of 'herd mentality' and a local biz slapped with a bad rap, I thought it long overdue to give 'em another try. With the lovely Kat F of Toronto in town, I thought what better way to get to the bottom of this than with someone who doesn't know any of the local back story.
The woman at the counter was super nice and took time to explain some of the different flavors to my Canadian friend. The stock was plentiful, but each individual piece looked as though it was hastily constructed. Since I get the same kind of cupcake at every bakery (chocolate cake, vanilla icing), I placed my order and dove in.
The cupcake is not bad. It is not that dry. It is not saccharin. It's not THAT expensive. It's not that small. And it's certainly not deserving of 2 stars.
That being said, I find few words of praise for these little guys. The cake is pretty bland. If I did a blind taste test, I am not even sure I would be able to identify that it was chocolate. The vanilla icing had a yellowish tint, a gritty texture and it tasted faintly of cream cheese. Maybe it was good that there was not more of it on top of the cupcake.
Some parting words? Things here aren't as bad the general consensus would have you believe. Though I'd eat them again, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here on a regular basis.
Ummmm if you're going to don yourself with a name so indiciative of self-proclaimed awesomeness,… Read more »
Ummm yeah... not so kickass if you ask me :-(
My friend came to visit from Houston recently, and she's got a bit of a sweet tooth, so when we drove by, I was forced to stop and go inside with her.
The place is small and quaint. The area for customers to actually browse the cupcakes is small. There are baker's racks of cupcakes that section off the customers from the back of the store. The first thing I noticed was the different varieties of cupcakes. They don't really have your traditional cupcakes here -- everything is truly unique. The good thing is that most of the cupcakes have a little explanation of what it is made of, so you are not caught completely off guard. Unfortunately, none of them looked particularly appetizing. For the most part, the cupcakes looked.... dry. However, since I had an out-of-town guest, we ended up getting a half dozen of them anyway. After shelling out almost $20 for a half dozen small cupcakes (holy crap, that's expensive!), we went back to my house and attempted to devour them all.
Unfortunately, we both stopped after one cupcake. They honestly were just not that great. They are decent, but I wouldn't rank them as anything better than "decent." The cupcakes tasted like they had been sitting there all day long, and it was just completely underwhelming.
Alas, my search for the perfect cupcake continues....
The only thing that kicked ass about Kickass Cupcakes was getting it off my list of places to try because frankly it sucked. You can't fool a connoisseur.
Dry? Flavorless? Small? Over prices? WTF. This is a recession people! I'll pay a lot for my unnecessary luxuries such as gourmet cupcakes and latte, but DO NOT expect me to not bitch when they suck. You bakers are murdering my bank account and thighs. And for what? Usually, pleasure. But not today. Ooooooh no. Not you Kickass cupcakes.
I was so disappointed. These cupcakes made me want to have an eating disorder because they just weren't worth the calories. I'm sorry to be mean. Really. I want to love you......but I cant. Good concept, good ideas for flavors (if they actually tasted like anything) but no..... sorry :-( Sad
Okay. Whoa. What bitter Yelp-Gypsy did this place offend to be cursed with such negative ratings?
I'm not really a cupcake person. Frankly, I find this whole cutesy cupcake store trend a little irritating. Be that as it may, I will say that I tried two Kickass Cupcakes yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised. The Mojito Cupcake was sooooooooooooo good - just the right amount of rummy flavor, and that sugar cane lime frosting? Give it to me, baby. The Caramel Mochiatto Cupcake with a caramel center and mocha frosting was so super-rich and chocolatey that I had to eat half and then save the rest for later.
These cupcakes:
- Were not dry
- Were not flavorless
- Were not too small
And for the eight hundred people before me who said "OMGZ i could go 2 the store and buy cupcake mix thats better than this place!!!!!1" - No. No, you can't. Come on now. Personally, I think a lot of the vitriol is a reaction to their "People Hate Us on Yelp" sticker. HOW DARE THEY HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR ABOUT THEIR YELP REVIEWS?!? THEY SHOULD BE COWERING IN THE CORNER!!! BEWARE THE WRATH OF YELP!
Whoa, I'm a little shocked at the negative reviews this place has received. This is one of the best treats in Davis Square. The cupcakes are sooo good - I'll give you that sometimes they have too much frosting, but then I just take off the excess.
The flavors are great - I love the mojito and they do special flavors everyday (you can follow their twitter feed, although they don't update it regularly). I've had just about all of them and I've never been disappointed.
It's true they are a little over priced - $2.50 - but that's probably for the best or else I would be fat as a pumpkin. But give them some slack - you gotta pay for specialty products. They only sell cupcakes!
Cupcake Happy Hour-- what a great idea!! On the menu were cute bite sized treats in flavors such as:
Banana Daiquiri- Moist cake with a hint of rum topped w/ lovely cream cheese frosting.- Delicious!
Brandy Alexander- Perfectly moist chocolate cupcake w/ delicious cream filling topped w/ rich choco-brandy frosting--YUMMY!
Caramel Apple-Tini- Really rich caramel center, super moist but a bit to sweet for me.
The staff was really friendly and the store is cute, clean and well kept. -1 star since its a bit pricey compared to Lyndell's but its on the price level of Sweet. I didn't know what to expect with all the bad reviews on Yelp but I'm glad that I gave them a try. I will definitely be back for more!
Maybe it had to do with the fact that we went on a gray Sunday afternoon. Everything was freaking pricey, dry, and overbaked. Only the frosting shots would ever bring me back. I give them one point for trying all these great flavor combinations, but it wasn't enough to ever bring me back.
Red velvet was the driest of all. It was practically burnt orange, that's how far from "red" it was.
The s'more cupcake was practically inedible. The top broke off in one hard piece, I did enjoy the marshmallow.
Mojito cupcake was a vanilla cupcake.
That's it. Disappointing after seeing them on Phantom Gourmet. Oh, bleh.
Perfect amount of frosting. Check. Perfect choices. Check. Bite size candy bars in some of the cupcakes. Check. Over priced. Check. Soft, crumbly texture. Check. Overall, this place was great. The chocolate ones are my favorite. The frosting on the berry crumble is horrible, but overall, happiness occurrs through tasty goodness
Cupcake happy hours rock. What a great way to give back to the community and get new business. Any place that gives out numerous free samples of tasty sugar filled things gets my vote.
In addition to happy hours, the cupcakes come in unique flavors and are pretty tasty. They are not my favorite cupcakes, but they are good. The staff is really pleasant and willing to offer information/advice to guide your cupcake choice.
I don't think they lived up to their name. Most of the flavors were only in the frosting and not the cake itself. The lemon cupcake was pretty good with a very refreshing citrus punch. The best one was the Pumpkin with a very nice filling and moist cake.
Luckily, I was able to purchase a few mini ones. Do not waste your money on the Red Velvet. It was not good at all. Rather dry and did not have enough cocoa flavor.
I tried these again, just to see if I was being too harsh in my first review.
Nope. This "cupcakes" suck. Suck-ass cupcakes.
Most overrated cupcakes of all time. These "kickass" cupcakes are mediocre at best. The cupcakes… Read more »
I second that I am shocked about the negative reviews of Kick Ass Cupcakes. For the past year, I have trekked to all of the "famous cupcake haunts" in Boston, and Kickass takes the cake! I have tried them all from Lulu's in the North End, Sweet in Back Bay, Sugar in West Roxbury & others, none of them compare to the freshness and great flavors of Kickass. Sweet is so overrated, the cupcakes do not taste fresh and that is likely because they do not bake them on site. Sweet's flavors are so unoriginal and also they are overpriced. I travel to Kickass from the Back Bay for the phenomenal cupcakes....keep kicking a**!
Kickass cupcakes? More like SICKass cupcakes!
These cupcakes were dry and tasted like they were low-fat, although I doubt that's what they were going for, seeing as how they were doused with a tower of frosting.
Sweet is better.
3.5
Tucked a bit away from Davis Square proper, this place offers nice sweet treats if you're feeling heavy in the wallet. Cupcakes come in the more typical flavors: chocolate, mocha, caramel macchiato, lemon vanilla--but also feature unusual suspects such as mojito and cinnamon chai pecan cupcakes. Once in a while, there's a new flavor or two added to the selection--like red velvet. Everything looks pretty; the standard size here is on the small side but you can order special XL cupcakes if you so desired (I would just go order a cake elsewhere for the price but that's my prerogative). Sure, sometimes the cupcakes could be a bit dry but I've experienced this everywhere else too. Last but not least, you can also get a cupcake for your dog as apparently there are people out there who believe dogs deserve cupcakes too. Ha. Dog people.
I look down upon the cuteness of cupcakes in general and the exorbitant prices but really, I'd come by again when my wallet fattens up a bit.
I'm not sure why the hatred for this and the love for sweet on yelp as they are priced as the regular over priced price of cupcakes in the city.
Kickass Cucpcake Red Velvet is much better than Sweets (Sweet's I can tast the breakdown of the red dye and flour) I think they only make red velvet on saturdays so get their before the noon as they tend to sell out. Peanut butter one is yummys as well.
Frosting here = stick of butter.
The cupcakes are presented very nicely. Who can argue with a name like Kickass Cupcakes? But they really need a new recipe - because they are fairly bland and the frosting could give you a heart attack (in a bad way).
They do have some creative flavors, but if you're looking for a good cupcake try Party Favors or Babycakes.
Just finished my Lucky Cupcake, and looooved it. Lemon cake with white chocolate frosting and candied ginger. Really yummy and the perfect size. I'm a little confused by the fortune that comes with this cupcake, though. Mine says, "Are you ready Boots?" What the heck does that mean? Me thinks the person who writes the fortunes was on a sugar high when they were coming up with that one...
Kickass Cupcakes and Yelp have an, um, how do I best describe this, "colorful" history together. It has a lot to do with the reviews, and the low reviews Kickass gets for its wares.
Kickass has taken the standard media response to this by using their Yelp sticker (likely received for the Dairy Bar) to inform patrons that they are "proud that 'People Hate Us on Yelp". So basically, it's a much smaller-scale, calmer version of the 2008 Buzz Bissinger/Will Leitch argument on the internet, except that Kickass is not a award winning author, Yelp is not an emo-haired 30-something sportsblogger with a mancrush on Rick Ankiel, and there's no one to play Bob Costas or Braylon Edwards.
I digress though. Kickass generally has a me-against-the-world attitude about their wares (see their website video wherein a Kickass Cupcake beats the snot out of three Sweet cupcakes). So, how do the cupcakes really match up?
The place itself is a little far out of the way from the main part of Davis Square. It's also tiny. You can really only go in and order, and leave. Sitting room is out of the question. It's an eat-and-go sort of thing, and considering the size of the space, they wouldn't be able to do much more.
The cupcakes themselves aren't actually too bad. I ordered a Green Monster. The frosting was the highlight, with its sugary goodness and yum factor. The cake part wasn't much to write home about, but it was okay. The price wasn't necessarily right ($2.75 for that small cupcake? A little bit better than Sweet's for comparable size, but still...).
Overall, I have to give Kickass the same stars I gave Sweet. I'm in the same place I am cupcake-wise with both of them, though I do appreciate that Kickass' ones are cheaper. At the same time, I kind of wish I could sit down to enjoy them, which I could theoretically do at Sweet. So, while the cartoon has a different result, I imagine that the two sets of cupcakes end up playing a few games of chess that all end in draws, and then part their separate ways.
Kickass Cupcakes may not like me, but I'm genuinely ambivalent about them :)
I love this place. I've been infatuated with several cupcake places over the last few years, but this is true love. Infatuation fades, love grows stronger over time. I love Kickass Cupcakes more and more each time I visit.
Part of the reason I love them more now is that I really think they listened to the criticisms about moistness, because the last few months the cupcakes are much moister than before. And, as before, a few of the flavors are fabulous, amazing cupcakes. Those are, in my humble opinion: Mojito, Chocolate Malt (where did it go, Kickass people????), Strawberry Shortcake, and Banana Cream. Heaven!
I expected very little based on the Yelp reviews, and I was very pleasantly surprised. While the… Read more »
stopped and got cupcakes. they were ok, just ok and pricey...
I'm fairly certain I've never been to a better cupcake establishment. I'm going to attribute the Yelp consensus to mob mentality and implore you to not pass up Kickass Cupcakes if you ever have the opportunity to go. The staff was friendly and endearing. Check out their website for their selection: the varieties are numerous and all sound delicious.
I had the Green Monster (the filling is unbelievable) and the Margarita, which unfortunately was limited edition for the summer and won't be back until next year. The Margarita was without a doubt the best cupcake I've ever had. The cake was just the right consistency, and its understated flavor perfectly set off the explosion-in-my-mouth that was the icing. It was slightly syrupy in consistency, perfectly flavored and sweet, and there was just the slightest bit of salt to set off the theme. Absolutely wonderful.
I really don't understand all the hate here: based on the experience I had at Kickass, it seems as though all of these negative reviews are just completely unfounded.
I'm sad to report this review. Actually, disappointed.
I stopped in for my first time today filled with anticipation. When I walked in the cupcakes were staring at me... all very pretty and cute. I have to say that the "decor" of this place is extremely lacking. It's basically white walls with baking equipment and cupcakes on metal shelving. Boring.
The chick at the counter was super nice and kindly explained which cakes would hold up better than others (I was buying them in advance for a get together).
I chose a kitty cake (which I had a bad feeling about), 2 chocolate frosted... one with vanilla and one with chocolate cake, mojito, and red velvet. I honestly think they were overpriced ($2.75 a pop!)... regardless of how "kick ass" they may be.
When I got home I immediately gave my cat (and roomie's cat) a piece of a kitty cake. You know what they did? They played with them like hockey pucks! I should have known better. Have YOU ever heard of a bread-eating feline? Bad idea guys.
After eating my shitty sub (I'll get to that later...) I was excited to try my vanilla/chocolate frosted cupcake. Frosting was good but tasted like it came from a can... nothing spectacular. The GREAT part was that they are totally not stingy with it... they really load it on top! The cake was sadly dry!! : ( So, so sad. BUT nothing a cold glass of milk can't help!
Bummer.
Terrible... just terrible.
The reviewers who gave more than 2 stars must be related to the people who own this place or something because I have tried this place twice and should have opted not to give it a second go. Cupcakes were dry, not tender at all, with a tiny amount of mediocre frosting... and PRICEY! I'm all about paying for good food, but c'mon, Kick@ss Cupcakes, not a good product and a bruise in my wallet is NOT cool.
I couldn't even get a child who was at my house to eat it... and how discerning are most 5 year olds?
Okay, so as I promised in my last review, I did end up going to Kickass Cupcakes over the weekend...for breakfast. We mentioned our intentions to my friend's roommate before we went and he, like many of you haters, was full of criticism. What a negative nancy! Anyway, we didn't let that deter us and off we went. Well, let me tell you, my Caramel Mochiatto cupcake was super divine! And my friend was equally pleased with the Cookies & Cream Ltd Edition. The only thing lacking was a tall glass of cold milk (which we could have procured at the Dairy shop next door).
Hey, I like this place! They have unique cupcake offerings at reasonable prices (at least they're… Read more »
I don't understand the Yelp/Kickass feud but I won't try. I wish I hadn't read all the awful reviews. Despite them, I still went to Kickass Cupcakes last night to decide for myself.
The only MAJOR gripe I have is price. Almost $6 for 2 cupcakes? That is INSANE. Anyway, the customer service was excellent. The guy behind the counter explained all the flavors, gave recommendations, and was just generally friendly.
The cupcake I got was the Macchiato and it was delicious! Chocolate cupcake with a caramel center and thick chocolate frosting. Very good.
I'm not going to go here everyday or anything (despite living about 3 blocks away) but I'm stoked that it's close and available to me.
These cupcakes are imposters.
The cupcake I purchased was the Red Velvet cupcake, since I heard good things about it. I had tried the Vanilla a few days prior to this. After not being impressed then, I thought I'd give them a second shot.
The cupcakes lured me in, looking light and fluffy. The first taste of the frosting provided my taste buds all kinds of wonderful promises, leading me to believe this would be one amazing treat. But one bite into both cakes led me to believe it's a store bough cupcake. A little dry and not inviting at all. A bit of a let down, I'd say.
Perhaps another chance can be arranged in the future, but I won't be jumping at the opportunity.
I love cupcakes! I don't care what anyone thinks of me or them. We shall run away interlocking hand and tin foil wrapper. I love the rich creamy buttercream and cream cheese frosting. The whipped dollop of creme compliments the cake the same way milk goes with chocolate chip cookies.
Kickass goes far beyond traditional chocolate and vanilla flavors in their mini cakedom factory. The Kickass Happy Hour had three bite size cocktail flavored cupcakes- mudslide, peach daiquiri, and lemon drop. All for free!
I'm impressed by any company that gives anything away for free. But I must wonder with a dessert like a cupcake how can anyone eat more than just one? How Kickass makes a profit on this Happy Hour event remains a mystery to me. I know whenever I want a cupcake I can return on Monday from 5-7 and have one for free. And this is worth telling all my sugar toothed pals about.
I ate the Mojito cupcake today. IT WAS AMAZING. Best cupcake EVAR.
Also, the people that work there are super sweet and helpful and good citizens. (I saw them do helpful neighborly things for like, three people while I was there.)
My beau got the peanut butter chocolate cupcake -- way too rich for my taste, but I LOVED the mojito cupcake. The dough was light and just right in my opinion in terms of moistness, and the frosting was the perfect consistency and topped with some yummy fresh mint. It was the best cupcake I've ever had! Hands down.
Wow, I'm a bit surprised by all of the negative views. After a homemade dinner while visiting my sister in Somerville, she says "I've got something great for dessert" and produces a box of 3 Kickass Cupcakes. I ate the Green Monster, and I have to say that I liked it a lot. The next day she produced some big blueberry muffin type thing with frosting -- it was so huge that we split it 3 ways, and it was delicious.
If you think $2.75 for a cupcake is too much, don't bother coming to DC....I think all of ours *start* at $3! If you're willing to pay $3 - 4 for an espresso drink, then what's the big deal to pay a similar amount for dessert?
Next time I visit my sister I will definitely also want to make an in-person visit to Kickass.
I feel compelled to jump to the defense of Kickass Cupcakes, where I have satisfied my sweet tooth on a monthly basis since they opened. I enjoy their brash, "take it or leave it" attitude toward Yelp, and their ever imaginative new creations and variety. The place is overpriced, but what cupcake place isn't? I can't make these kooky creastion things at home, or at least wouldn't think too. As a local and someone who works in Davis, I appreciate Kickass as a business, and am glad they are here.
Product wise, I like their cake and their frosting. The vegan chocolate is a favorite, especially with that Harney and Son's Energizing Iced Tea. A perfect mid day reward for a hard working girl.
Very yummy cupcakes. Not much atmosphere in the store, I have seen cuter. but $2.75 for a cupcake not bad. I had the mojito very very good.
So it's really not a bad cupcake. I stopped in on a Friday night and picked up a particularly appetizing chai pecan caramel number, and was very much satisfied with it. Was I $2.75 worth of satisfied? No. Was I put-up-with-distracted-cashier worth of satisfied? No. But it was a cupcake, and I ate it and was happy about it.
I'll probably stop by again to treat myself one of these days.
For the first review I wrote for this place, i gave Kickass a 4. I gave them that 4 because while I thought it deserved a 5, I thought I must not have known enough about cupcakes at the time or that perhaps I had been duped by my seemingly good experience. I was wrong.
Kickass cupcakes is my all-time favorite cupcake establishment. And that is saying something. I've gone through about 5 of the New York bakeries, some more than once, most of Boston's, and any other miscellaneous cupcake place I can get my paws on. I know my shit. Kickass blows every one of those places out of the water.
The girls who work there are nice, friendly, helpful, and patient. I needed driving to directions to the other side of Cambridge and she printed me a map with blue marker helpful hints on it. I would give this place 6 stars if I could.
So listen. You haven't been there before? Don't let the yelp hive-mind of negativity influence you. This place is fantastic.
Okay. What the hell.
I see a lot of hate for kickass cupcakes going on and I really don't understand…

My first experience was a 2, second was a 4, so this review will split the difference.
My husband got a box of these for my birthday in June. You can't order a dozen different flavors--you have to pick one. So he got the Super Chocolate (Chocolate brownie cupcake topped with bittersweet chocolate ganache and covered with chocolate shavings). They were okay...pretty dry. Definitely not "kickass", IMHO.
Then some friends came over last week and brought a box of 4 different flavors. I tried the Mojito and the Cannoli (which I don't see on their website so it must have been special that day). Both were quite moist and very good. Definitely "special" cupcakes.
All in all, the price for a regular cupcake is the same as a small ice-cream cone at JP Licks or Richardson's and packs the same enjoyment. It's a nice treat.
Back when I lived in Davis, I was so excited for Kickass Cupcakes to arrive.
Oh, and then they arrived, and like most people, I was so disappointed!
It looks great in theory. Mojito cupcakes? Dog and cat cupcakes? Quirky name for a quirky neighborhood?
But the cupcakes, which should be the selling point of this place, were quite dry, bland, and WAY overpriced.
I've been back to Kickass enough times to determine that they're not getting better over time. Not at all. It's too bad; Davis could use a place like this.
To the owners of this business: please concentrate on your cupcake recipe. Make them moist. That would elevate this business SO much.
One star for the frosting on the double chocolate cupcake.
