Cupcakes are light, cakey, fluffy, creamy, and even have a dash of nostalgia mixed into every bite. Cupcakes are simply the greatest combination of all things sweet while managing to be extremely convenient in portability and enjoyability.<\/p>\n

Is your mouth watering for one yet?<\/p>\n

When in Boston, there are plenty of spots for you to peruse in order to find the most sublime cupcakes around (cupcake crawl anyone?). Without further ado, let\u2019s take a glance at nine places with the best cupcakes in Boston!<\/p>\n

Little Miss Cupcape<\/h2>\n

Little Miss Cupcape<\/a> is one of the best cupcake spots in Boston. Nope, that\u2019s not a spelling error, as the owner Taylor Stump loves Cape Cod and started her dream cupcake shop there, then expanded to Boston. Located conveniently on Newbury Street, this quaint and adorable shop is a local favorite for craving-satisfying, gourmet cupcakes.<\/p>\n

High customizability, kind staff, rich frosting, dense cakes, and unique designs\u2026what\u2019s not to love? Some of their bestselling flavors include Sea Salt Chocolate Caramel, Ginger Nog, Buoy Buckeye, Cape Coconut, and Little Miss Cupcape.<\/p>\n
