All's right with the world again: Globe returns to trend stories not fully based in facts

The Globe today declares cupcakes are still a Thing in Boston:

Some trend-spotters have declared the cupcake fad over, but in Boston the confection is still growing strong.

Michael Pahre, however, points out an inconvenient truth: While Boston does, indeed, have six stores that sell only cupcakes, it used to have seven, until one failed and closed:

That would be right here in Brighton Center, where Cherry Bomb closed its doors recently at 379 Washington Street after what appears to have been less than one year in business. Bye-bye bacon, beer, and pepper cupcakes.

For those keeping track, that means fully 14% of Boston's cupcake stores have failed in the past few months.
