Cake is mostly a waste of a dessert in my mind. I much prefer denser forms of chocolate — brownies, fudge, triple-chocolate-chunk cookies, truffles. But I won’t complain about frosting. Any time I do eat cake, you can guarantee I’m using it as a vehicle for some smooth, sweet buttercream. Party Favors in Brookline makes all manner of treats, and their tea cupcakes are just under a dollar. The cake is average (a tad on the dry side, but decent flavor) and the frosting is pretty great (no shortening aftertaste, not overly sugary). Best of all, their frosting-to-cake ratio is right on.
And now, we’re off to New York for a little spring break fun! Can’t wait to see how New York’s dollar finds compare to Boston’s…
