Now if you have the cojones to call your cupcakes "KickAss" don't you think there should be a shred of that bravado in the product?

I heard about KickAss Cupcakes from a friend and the name was so enticing, that I couldn't wait to check it out. I've had delicious cupcakes from the hot spots in NYC and had hoped that this was a local-neighborhood spot that could rival those cupcake Meccas.

Some Assembly Required and spouse head over to Davis Square for some of the new cupcakes; he reports they're either seriously over-priced at $2.75 or under-sized. He adds:

... Saturday we stopped in Ball Square to get a snack at Lyndell's bakery. They make some pretty great pastries; I'm quite partial to their raspberry danish. And they also make cupcakes, which are generously sized and cost 90 cents each.

Those were tears of joy on Yup's face when she learned, after a bad day, that Davis Square is getting a cupcake store with a take-no-prisoners name.

Chef Brad Brown of the Blue Frog Bakery got really creative for Halloween this year and baked the cupcakes from every protective parent's nightmares. SPOOKY!
