Kick*ss Cupcakes

[ron_newman]

Several paper signs in the window of 378 Highland Avenue (formerly Rock City Guitars) announce that "KICK*SS CUPCAKES" is "COMING SOON" to that location. I know nothing more.

And yes, the signs have a *, not an A.

OH MY GOD, my prayers have been answered.

Wow, more food in Somerville... Jesus Christ, how about a radio shack or something useful?

[ron_newman]

Radio Shack is 10 minutes' walk from here, in the Porter Square shopping center.

But I do wonder how anyone will make money selling just cupcakes, when La Contessa is no longer able to make a go of selling a much wider variety of bakery goods.

I'm on the far end of Davis, closer to broadway and Medford st/central st, so Porter's usually a car ride for me. I'd just like a nice comprehensive audio/electronics store in the square, instead of MORE pizza, MORE indian, MORE szechuan food...

Radio Shack is useful? Maybe in 1979....

I love cupcakes! This made my day.

the question is, do they sell cupcakes at all, or something non sequitur, like T-shirts.

I believe the sign would then have to say Johnny Cupcakes

self-censorship is for f*cking *ssholes.

I especially hate it when Time and Newsweek do it. How condescending to their readers! Are there seriously people out there who would be offended if quoted swear words weren't underscored out? (f____ s___!!)

As far as I know it is indeed a cupcake bakery. I emailed with the owner about it a bit. I mentioned that she might want to have coffee and at least a little seating since the existing coffee shops are so extremely full sometimes.

Hooray for cupcakes! :)

That is the most exciting thing I have heard all day.

Of course, I spent most of my day watching America's Next Top Model reruns. It was a very, very low bar.

does anyone besides me eat bread any more? bagels? scones? Probably zero business model for it but I'd love to see a bakery for non-sweets.

YUM CUPCAKES!

Hi- I'm the owner of Kickass Cupcakes and yes, I will be selling and delivering cupcakes soon. I hope to be open early summer. Looking forward to joining the Davis Square crowd. Check out my website soon (currently under construction) for more info on my cupcake project, www.kickasscupcakes.com
BTW, the * is not self-censorship...think more, a cool logo riff, a wink at profanity. And the thought that maybe moms & dads who stop by may want to have the option of telling their wee ones it's kick's cupcakes or suffer the consequences of their sugar infused toddlers running around screaming kickass! kickass! kickass!
thanks to all who vote for cupcakes over Radio Shack...see you soon-Sara

A cupcake request... Vegan and vegan/wheat-free cupcakes!

Re: cupcakes

[ron_newman]

Welcome to Davis Square! Be sure to announce your opening day here. People will show up.

This rocks so much. :)

Are you any relation to Cosmo Cupcakes over in Watertown?

Re: cupcakes

[emilijas.livejournal.com]

Hey Sara, Yay! And congrats on starting up this business. Looking for any bakers? Thoughts about any vegan products? I'd love to be in contact with you if your answer to these questions is yes. Is there a Kick*ass Cupcakes email address yet? Thanks, Emilie

GLUTEN FREE CUPCAKES, pleeeeease.

I haven't had a cupcake in 6 years...seriously.

[nomacmac.livejournal.com]

If we're putting in cupcake requests, can I dream of a nut-free bakery too? A vegan cupcake from a nut-free bakery...my food allergic kid could actually eat somthing from a bakery for the first time in his life.

[dani-namaste.livejournal.com]

well, here's a question... is there a way to "certify" that cupcakes from a non-nut-free bakery can be, in fact, nut free? Like perhaps a separate counter/utensils/pans, etc? It just seems a lot to ask of this poor gal that she provide vegan, gluten free AND nut-free food.
